Founding strategist & investor backing the next wave of tech leaders
I'm a YC founder and ex-VC investor with an engineering background. As co-founder and CEO of SenpAI.GG, a gaming coach backed by Y Combinator in S21, I scaled a product serving 1.4 billion PC gamers globally over nearly five years. Before that, I built FashionI, an algorithmic feed-based e-commerce platform, and earlier worked as an Investment Associate at ACT Venture Partners evaluating early-stage tech startups across Europe. Today I lead Founder Factor, an investment syndicate of YC alumni dedicated to backing the top 5% of YC startups. My experience spans deep product and founder knowledge, venture capital thesis development, and the ability to identify and mentor exceptional teams.
I've built and scaled two companies to product-market fit, navigated YC, and understand the founder journey from earliest stage through growth and exit decisions.
With hands-on experience at ACT Venture Partners evaluating startups and now leading Founder Factor's syndicate, I can help identify signal in pre-seed and seed opportunities.
My electrical engineering background combined with product leadership across gaming and e-commerce gives me frameworks for building and validating tech-driven products.
