most interested in

I invest in the most ambitious European software founders at Series A building in AI, automation, data infrastructure, cyber security, and developer tools. I’m particularly excited about technical teams with a strong GTM advantage who are tackling complex problems with global potential. Having been a founder myself, I look for entrepreneurs with deep obsession, resilience, and the ability to attract world-class talent around them.
