About

Investing in Passion is a place you can read about VC investments and get inspired to think of this process not only as a way to get some money out of the market straight to your pocket but mainly as a way to make an impact in the world and support people & companies you believe in.

My Investment thesis focuses on the ‘Future of Life‘, including automation of the fundamental industries, industrial, logistics, cybersecurity, supply chain, robotics, deep tech, and manufacturing (if you are building in these spaces, let’s talk).
– Let’s figure out how to help hardworking, visionary founders who left their well-paid corporate jobs and risk it all to make their dreams come true, and ultimately change how we live and work.
– Learn about the venture capital investment process and see it as a mission to improve the existence of as many people as possible by helping to introduce disruptive, futuristic products to the market.
I believe in a world where founders solve humanity’s most significant problems, equip the population with technology, close inequality gaps, change habits, and advance in tech by building the positive world we all strive to live in. I work with startups that change the way we live and work, advance humanity utilizing AI, automation, SaaS, productivity tools, and robotics in different industries, and change life on Earth for the better and in Space, eventually possible.

I’m totally hooked by the creativity some people have in their veins and how amazing is that a random spark of a simple idea can eventually grow to be called a leading product on the market and fundamentally transform the way we live. I want to gather inspiring ideas, provide value, and share thoughts on how to combine your passion and interests with the possibility of having an impact on the market. Keep in mind the potential returns and hope to participate in financing the next unicorn-to-be but first of all, play, enjoy the process, watch the global transformation of the markets, get inspired, positively impact the environment, think of making people’s lives better, and have the most rewarding feeling in the world that you support projects you really believe in.

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 a few years in investment banking (State Street Bank, Euroclear Bank, Deutsche Bank) and consulting (Chatham Financial). I worked in Switzerland, Belgium, UK, Poland, USA and I mainly managed funds global operations (institutional clients onboarding, accounts setup, orders placement, reporting, KPI, product development, testing, and implementation, LPs relationships, capital calls, mutual, hedge, PE, RE, Infrastructure funds in scope). However, I met amazing people and a lot of great things happened along the way.
I used to run my own company for three years but then I switched to the investment side and discovered my passion for supporting founders through Angel and Venture Capital investing.
Since then, I’ve been in VC and never looked back 🙂
