I have been an angel investor and advisor since April 2013 and have backed more than 60 companies, including Truelayer, Scalapay, Stelia, Praktika, Sintra, Ori, Ceartas, Liberis, Layer.ai, Prosper, Geeiq, SAPI, Infactsystems, Hotelmap, Fairjungle, Fluent, Odin, Finlegal, Griffin, Starform, Pixaera, Kanjo Health, Molecular Glue, Bankaya, Firenze and Hurdle.bio. My investing activity spans a broad range of companies and I act in advisory and investor roles alongside founders.
As co‑founder and director of Black Duck in the London area I helped develop strategy and product vision, built the initial core team, contributed funding and evaluated a broad pipeline of club acquisition opportunities across Europe. In 2024 Black Duck acquired a 50% stake in Ravenna FC; in our first season Ravenna finished 2nd in Serie D (Group D), won the Coppa Italia Serie D and secured promotion to Serie C.
