I’ve led fundraising efforts, strategic partnerships, and investor relations, building valuable connections with angel investors, venture capitalists, and founders of deeptech startups. As a founder myself at Optoceutics, I’ve navigated the seed-stage fundraising process and am currently focused on advancing our strategic goals toward securing Series A investment. I’m particularly passionate about exploring disruptive opportunities within biotech, healthtech, and neuroscience, and I actively support and advise other early-stage entrepreneurs based on my experiences.
I’d love to play with other creators that share the underlying foundation of curiosity about life and a foundation of, at times, work overflowing with near-obsessive love/interest for solving humanity’s toughest puzzles, in service of elevating our collective consciousness and nurturing a culture of meta-learning and mutual uplift; while understanding that this is tough work that requires a massive amount of learning and humbleness along the journey. If one can align with that, I’m in.
