Investing in Passion is a platform where you can explore VC investments and be inspired to see the process as a way to make a meaningful impact on the world by supporting founders who embark on bold quests to fundamentally transform industries.
My investment thesis focuses on the ‘Future of Life,’ encompassing the automation of fundamental industries such as industrials, logistics, cybersecurity, supply chain, robotics, deep tech, and manufacturing (if you are building solutions for those industries let’s talk).
➡️ Let’s find ways to support hardworking, visionary founders who risk it all to pursue their dreams and ultimately transform the way we live and work,
➡️ Learn about the venture capital investment process and see it as a mission to enhance lives by supporting the introduction of disruptive, futuristic products to the market.
I believe in a world where founders tackle humanity’s most significant challenges, empower people with technology, bridge inequality gaps, reshape habits, and drive technological progress to build the positive world we all aspire to live in. I collaborate with startups that transform how we live and work, advance humanity through AI, automation, SaaS, productivity tools, and robotics across various industries, and create solutions that improve life on Earth—and, eventually, in space.
In the end, it’s not about money, it’s about the person you become through the process of investing and supporting communities. It’s about the decisions you make and the values you follow. It’s about the choices you make and the vision you keep in your mind and what world you help to build through your life on earth.
Shortly about my journey to date
I spent several years in investment banking (State Street Bank, Euroclear Bank, Deutsche Bank) and consulting (Chatham Financial), working across Switzerland, Belgium, the UK, Poland, and the USA. My focus was primarily on managing global fund operations, including institutional client onboarding, account setup, order placement, reporting, KPI tracking, product development, testing, implementation, LP relationships, capital calls, and operations across mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and infrastructure funds. Along the way, I had the privilege of meeting incredible people and experiencing many rewarding moments that inspired me to seek for my true calling.
For three years, I ran my own company before transitioning to the investment side, where I discovered my passion for supporting founders through angel and venture capital investing. Since then, I’ve been immersed in VC and haven’t looked back!
