Also had stands on the Founder side (Malevich) and in classical finance (Diagram Capital)

I am a firm believer in having to have people smarter than me around, and pushing all the buttons I can to help them be their best, coolest selves.

Getting founders where they need to be - advisory, plain 1-on-1 chats, network, and anything else you may need from me.

All opinions my own and potentially wrong, but I am trying my best.

Considerably good at pub quizzes.
