Audra Pakalnyte

Investor and operator: three years investing, fifteen years building and running businesses before that. Founding team at an exited fintech , where I carried GTM across eight markets including the lending balance sheet, built the product and made the first 100 hires. Now GP at a pre-seed fund investing across Southeast Asia. Board member at an AI company.

Domain expertise: product, people, strategy, GTM, fundraising. I%27ve been the operator making the call and the investor asking why, which makes me useful on both sides of a board table.

Best fit: seed to Series A companies in across industries, especially ones expanding between Southeast Asia and Europe. Equally, corporates setting up an innovation arm or venture capital vehicle, or acquiring their way into new business lines - I%27ve built a fund from scratch and been on the both sides of an acquisition, so I know where both usually go wrong.
