the foundation
Build a venture worth funding
Sharpen the product, the evidence, and the commercial story. The work that determines valuation long before anyone puts a number on it.
the path
Raise with confidence
Investment readiness: strategy, narrative, deck, evidence, and the founder in the room. The technical and regulated side runs through specialist partners I work closely with.
the next chapter
Prepare for an exit
For founders thinking 12–36 months ahead to a possible sale. The earlier the strategic positioning starts, the more it moves the multiple. The technical M&A side runs through specialist advisor partners.
Who I work with
01. Founders and business owners building, raising, or preparing to sell tech ventures.
02. Trusted partners who sit close to founders at wealth-defining moments.
