How I invest

I invest in startups within my network, prioritising founders I know and trust. I have experience in building SaaS and marketplace companies, so I offer practical experience to help founders in those areas to navigate challenges (build, scale, exit) and drive growth.

All investments are made via my micro investment company - Vintage Island.

I usually write €5k - €10k checks, with a few rare exceptions. I put money and get shares. I might also get shares from advisory agreements. These are situations where I help the founders (with my time and advice) on the basis of a formal agreement, meaning conditions apply to these shares, including vesting or early termination of the agreement.
