Build it. Fund it. Sell it.
founder-side venture lifecycle support for founders, from first idea to exit
The work of raising starts long before the investor meeting. This is where I focus, bringing along specialist corporate finance and legal partners if you also want the regulated mechanics of the round itself handled.

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
Fund your startup with confidence
Investment readiness: strategy, narrative, deck, evidence, and the founder in the room. Understand how to raise, how much, from whom, and with what story.
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 new TECH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, raising funds, or preparing to sell their VENTURE.
02. Trusted partners who sit close to founders at wealth-defining moments.
