About
I work with high-growth, technically complex companies to raise capital and secure strategic partnerships, typically from pre-seed to late-stage raises. My experience spans biotech, digital health, climate and environmental technologies, advanced industrial processes, SaaS, AI and next-generation transport and aviation.
My role is execution-led. I do not sit on the side-lines advising in theory. I run fundraising processes end-to-end: positioning, narrative development, investor targeting, outreach, and closing support.
I have engaged with approximately 2000 VC firms globally and maintain a broader investor network of ~18,000 contacts across venture, angel, family office, and strategic capital. This enables structured, high-volume but targeted outreach tailored to each company’s stage, sector, and geography.
I focus on what actually drives outcomes:
• Clear, defensible positioning for technically complex businesses
• Investment materials that stand up under scrutiny and diligence
• Segmented investor strategy (lead/follow/credibility layers)
• Process execution from first contact through to term sheet
Alongside fundraising, I support companies in opening commercial doors, particularly with enterprise partners, industrial players, and cross-border expansion across the UK, EU, and US.
I typically work on a success-fee basis, aligning incentives fully with founders and focusing on results, not activity.
