Startup Advisor

Operator-led guidance for founders building technology companies across Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia.

I work with a small number of founders each year — typically at the pre-seed to Series A stage — on the questions that shape a company's trajectory: positioning, go-to-market, fundraising narrative, operating rhythm and investor relationships.

My advisory is not theoretical. It draws on more than a decade of building companies, operating inside venture ecosystems and investing in ambitious teams.

How I advise

Strategy & narrative
Sharpen the story investors, customers and talent need to hear — and the strategy that makes it true.
Go-to-market & revenue
Build repeatable paths to customers, partnerships and revenue without over-engineering the machine.
Fundraising & cap table
Prepare rounds, structure conversations and connect with the right investors at the right moment.
Operating cadence
Translate ambition into focus: priorities, metrics and a rhythm the team can sustain.

Track record

Who it is for

Founders who are building something ambitious, technical and genuinely new — and who want a sparring partner with real operating and investment experience. I take on advisory and board roles selectively, usually where I can also add value through my network.
