Startups Expertize

SINCE 2015 helping entrepreneurs realise their boldest innovative ideas

As the founder of two successful startups and through consulting, mentoring, and advisory roles with 20+ more, I have extensive experience helping entrepreneurs realize their boldest innovative ideas.

My startups Infidia and OttCT (consortium where Infidia is the leading member) leveraged cutting-edge technologies like AI and blockchain to transform investment processes. Under my leadership as CEO, Infidia and OttCT secured five competitive EU grants to fund product development from ideation to impact.

Through hands-on guidance from bootstrap phases to growing operations, my advisory offers visionary founders the guidance needed to strategically transition from well-funded concept to commercial viability.

Through a strong network built over many years, I am uniquely positioned to advise your startup on crafting a compelling venture vision and go-to-market strategy, raising capital, and creating a high-performing team focused on delivering value. My proven model emphasizes rapid prototyping, real-time customer feedback, and a non-dilutive funding approach.
