The companies I'm looking for begin with their founders. A major risk in investing in early stage companies is that the founder won’t exhaust all possible resources to ensure the creation of a sustainable, successful and competitive business. The most important factor is that companies: Convey Problem Clearly, Convince How it is Scalable, and Communicate Teams Market and Culture Fit. I specialize in Beauty Tech, Wellness Tech, Life improvement Tech, e-Commerce, Real Estate Tech companies.

The best way to stay in the loop on the opportunities to come is via our newsletter, so please sign up and stay tuned.
