Consultant & Mentor

from well-founded concept to WELl-funded Startup

As a strategic advisor, consultant, and mentor, I’ve helped many early-stage founders refine their value propositions through my work with top-tier accelerators.

I am actively mentoring startups at the venture capital fund Village Capital and their programs in collaboration with IBM, VISA and SAGE. Prior to that (and after finishing the program as one of their top startups), I was mentoring at BlockStart, and my first (2015) mentoring experience was for SoteHub in Kenya.

Recently, I’ve joined climate and sustainability initiatives such as Greentech Europe 2024, Greentech Asia, New European Bauhaus, and 4ward VC.
