Your Partner behind the scenes.

Phase 1: The Entrepreneur

I began my journey as an entrepreneur, learning what it takes to build a business from scratch. I experienced firsthand the challenges of fundraising, the rejection, and the persistence required to succeed.

Phase 2: The Institutional Investor

I spent years at the European Investment Fund, reviewing 300+ fund decks and getting deep into the world of institutional investment. I learned what investors really look for and why most pitches fail.`

Phase 3: The Bridge Builder

That experience inspired me to build Lumia Partners, a firm entirely focused on one passion: helping great founders succeed. I bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and capital, using insights from both sides.
