Global Crowdfunding Expert & Startup Advisor | Helping Entrepreneurs Raise Capital | Founder & CEO |

As a crowdfunding veteran and startup advisor with over four decades of experience in the technology industry, I have helped thousands of entrepreneurs raise capital through various crowdfunding models, both rewards-based and equity-based.

As the founder and CEO of XseedR, I am leading the development of a disruptive fundraising ecosystem that leverages blockchain technology, AI, and innovative marketing solutions. Our platform enables anyone to raise capital in almost any jurisdiction, and from investors all over the world, whether they need $100k or $100M+.

My passion is to empower early-stage businesses to grow and succeed, and to democratize access to funding opportunities for both founders and investors. I have an extensive background in sales, marketing, and project finance, and I am always eager to share my knowledge and insights with the startup community.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, golf, and FC 24. I am also a wildlife defender and an advocate for ending the cruel practice of canned hunting. Connect with me to learn more about my work and how I can help your startup succeed.

Traditional Crowdfunding has been around for more than a decade but is riddled with flaws and inefficiencies.

Crowdfunding has the potential to become a $1 trillion+ market.  

Web3 is here and we're playing our part by building the most disruptive fundraising ecosystem for the global financial world .

Whether you are a startup needing $100k, or an established business looking to raise $100M+,  our blockchain based crowdfunding technology and innovative marketing solutions, will allow anyone to raise capital in almost any jurisdiction, and from investors all over the world.
