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.
