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 totaling over $250k 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.
