Expertise & Strategies

As an experienced Founder, Venture Builder, Investor, and a Goldman Sachs alum, I run an AI-driven Venture Studio and Opportunity Fund. Our Venture Portfolio focuses on Financial Intelligence, Biodefense Commercialization, PropTech, EdTech & Social Impact. Our Opportunity Fund looks for market inefficiencies, undervalued assets and also hedges with cashflow-generating businesses.

I use a mix of Strategies for my work:

For Venture Build, Profitable Business and Cashflow Machine, I use strategies of “Never Lose Money” inspired by Warren Buffett, and “0-to-1” inspired by Peter Thiel.
For Wealth Creation, I use strategies of “Quantum Wealth in All-Weather”, inspired by Ray Dalio.
