Angel Investor

2016

Angel Investor, shareholder & advisor in 25+ startups since 2016. Commonly providing the first cheque for a startup. My investment thesis is supporting startups that solve operational and consumption inefficiencies and problems grounded in lack of access to information. This has led me to make diverse investments, including transaction processing (Ntropy), health sensors (Cloudcath), robotics for lab automation (Automata, first cheque) and smart meter integration (Pylon). I do a combination of investing personal money, leading syndicate deals and acting as a venture partner to early stage funds. I also occasionally act as a hands-on advisor, helping with fundraising growth rounds, building data products and teams, and in capturing the necessary network effects for growth. As of May 2023, my investment portfolio has achieved an IRR of 47.3%.
