About

A passionate entrepreneur for over 15 years, I have developed several companies in the BtoC and BtoB markets. I have completed 2 significant exits. Today, I'm an investor in start-up projects. I know perfectly well the expectations of Angels Investors and VCs, and have developed a large network of professionals and investors. My aim is to share my rich experience of accompanying dozens of Stratups from ideation through product-market-fit, go-to-market and sales scaling strategies to the B-series. I'm personally passionate about tech issues.

AI Integration: I am constantly looking to integrate artificial intelligence solutions to automate processes, enhance efficiency, and create competitive advantages for the startups I work with. I'm an optimist with the ambition to make things happen.

Investor & Operating Partner
Unicraft VC
January 2023 - Today - 9 months

As an Investor and Operating Partner at Unicraft VC and its Venture Studio, I am passionate about identifying and supporting promising startups in the tech sector, particularly those focused on AI and sustainable growth. My role spans from the ideation phase to market launch, including sales strategy and growth.

🤝 I closely collaborate with founders, leveraging my expertise in product launches, sales strategies, and growth optimization to help companies stand out in a competitive market and achieve significant milestones.

💡 Ideation Phase: I work closely with founders from the early stages of their projects. This involves brainstorming sessions, market analyses, and validating business assumptions to refine the idea into a viable concept.

📈 Business Plan and Pitch Deck Creation: Once the idea is validated, I guide teams in crafting robust business plans and persuasive pitch decks. These documents not only attract investors but also provide clear direction for the company.

🚀 Launch Strategy: I oversee the planning and execution of the product or service launch. This includes defining KPIs, selecting distribution channels, and implementing targeted marketing campaigns.

🛒 Sales Strategy: I develop and implement effective sales strategies, ranging from lead generation to conversion and customer retention. My goal is to optimize the sales process to maximize revenue.

📊 Growth Optimization: After the launch, I continue to work on optimizing growth channels, using data analytics and AI techniques to improve customer acquisition and retention.

🤖 AI Integration: I am constantly looking to integrate artificial intelligence solutions to automate processes, enhance efficiency, and create competitive advantages for the startups I work with.

🌍 My goal is to create an ecosystem of companies that are not only financially successful but also bring about positive changes in the world.
