I work with scientific and technical founders
– to get their technology to market.
I’ve co-built technology companies that have raised more than 50 million Euros in the last 4 years. The recipe I’ve used is a proven method that works: In order for a technology to get commercial traction, you need to have a strong focus in place.

Partnering with scientists and technical founders on commercialization
Telling stories, planning financials, raising rounds – all the while building a company. I’ve been there as a founder myself many times. With more than 13 years of experience in venture, I know what it takes to bring companies to life.
With my background in commercialization, finance and communications, I help technical and scientific founders on commercial focus: Together we work on what it takes to successfully commercialize and finance their technology.
