About me

Welcome to my Hubble advisory! Sharing years of experience navigating startup land as a founder and as an investor where I previously: - Built companies from 0 to 1: first with Heex Technologies, a data management platform for AI training & monitoring in robotics, and second with Intuition, a venture capital fund investing in early-stage companies moving culture. - Invested in 20+ early-stage startups with a focus on consumer, prosumer tools, and B2B2C (e.g., Sorare, Scoreplay, Odyssey, Superpower, Amo) as an angel and as a venture Scout for Headline (US consumer team). - Raised €20M+ of venture capital from world-class investors (Google, General Catalyst, Goodwater & GPs at EQT, Eurazeo, 20VC), industry experts (founders of Vinted, Deel, Ledger & operators from OpenAI, Google, MrBeast), and international cultural leaders (athletes, artists, creators with 200M+ followers).
