Top Achievements

Exited Startup

Co-founder of ed-tech startup, EdWise, which we built from concept through to receiving funding from preseed to an A round. We were then bought out by a competitor and I exited the business. This has given me good grounding to help founders through the journey taking a concept to launch, building growth and all the pains that go with that and getting funding, 3 times.

Angel Investor

Currently using my experience to help other founders on their journey to launch and build their startups. I also invest in the some of the founders I work with.

Mentor at Founder Institute & TechStars

I am a global mentor for various accelerator programs such as Founder Institute and Techstars. Here I mentor founders from around the world, across various sectors in their early pre-seed and seed stages.
