About

I’m a deep tech VC focused on unlocking technical European talent at the day zero stage. I’ve worked in the UK / EU startup ecosystem since 2015 and have seen first hand how European founders are held back by local capital, which is why I split time between London and the West coast.

Today I’m Partner with Fly Ventures, a first check VC built for technical founders across Europe. I invest in computational deep tech startups, including but not limited to: Applied AI, AI systems & infra, TechBio, Robotics, Climatetech and Material science. I also volunteer time with the UK’s Advanced Innovation + Research Agency (ARIA) and Conception X. I use this blog to share thoughts on investing and company building and I write a (sort of) weekly deep tech newsletter, (Re)Share.

Prior to Fly I led the company building program of Entrepreneur First, Europe’s top deep tech accelerator. During me four years at EF I built the funding function from scratch and managed 85+ Seed and Pre-seed financings, which raised $90+ million. Prior to that I spent six years as a strategy consultant on focused supply chain and procurement optimization (forgive me). I hold a Bachelor’s in Finance from Indiana University and an MBA from London Business School.
