I have seen hundreds of concepts from their inception from my time at a company builder, corporately, as well as pitches from entrepreneurs. I can help provide rigor to your business model in order to support your decision and launch processes.
I’ve raised capital for startups in the US and emerging markets, and advised a number of entrepreneurs on their strategy. I can provide advice on your pitch, deck, approach, as well as look at creative ways to finance a business.
Coaching and development is key for senior staff at a high-growth company. I’ve had the privilege of coaching a number of high-performance team through their personal and professional challenges, and can share how best to engage your senior team.
I’ve had some role in launching ~15 ventures, and understand the delicate balances between growth, product development, customer segmentation and market identification. The right mindset is to consider all of these unproven and to proceed through experimentation.
I am a Founding Partner at Polymath Ventures, a venture studio for emerging markets which now operates in 4 countries, having launched 9 ventures and raised ~$60M in capital.
I regularly advise companies and teams looking to design and implement a venture studio model, either standalone or as part of a broader corporate strategy. I take a first-principles approach to identifying appropriate strategies, and guide clients through operationalization and growth over time.
