Investment

I invest in and advise early-stage startups, as:

An LP in Giant Leap and Co Ventures,
A Mentor in the Startmate and TechStars accelerators, and
An Angel (on a very selective basis).

I love meeting Founders, Operators and Investors of all shapes and sizes via my Office Hours. But I am particularly interested in assisting Founders who read the following descriptions and think "that's me".

🛠️ Purposeful and practical

You are a visionary with impressive influence, steadfast ethics, and a hands-on approach to making things happen. You're more interested in learning than being right.

🎧 In tune with real needs

You have a deep connection with the most urgent unmet needs of the people you serve. Your work is fuelled by the voices and behaviours of real-world stakeholders.

🌎 Making life on earth better

The ripple effects of your work will uplift humanity. For example, mental health, access to quality education, social equity and inclusion, and civic leadership.

🔄 Creating what people use

Your team has what it takes to build, launch and refine a remarkable product that people reach for, depend upon, and build a community around.

🚀 Geared for growth

There is a "throughline" for you to break down market barriers and iterate toward an internally-sustainable venture at a global scale.

👐 Unafraid to seek help

Thought partnership could greatly contribute to your leadership journey, helping you grow and maximise your venture's impact over time.

If you see yourself in these qualities and there's something you need that you don't already have, I'd love to hear from you.
