Over the last 15+ years, I've worked closely with founders and investors — as a GP, advisor, investment banker, and operator. I've deployed capital, helped set up early-stage funds, supported multiple fundraising journeys across equity and debt, and advised VC funds and companies on strategy, diligence, and market clarity.

My experience spans early-stage investing, strategy consulting, capital raising, and building — including launching ventures of my own. Across roles, the common thread has been working with founders during moments that define outcomes.

• The first cheque carries disproportionate influence
• Early dilution is often a strategy failure, not a capital one
• Fundraising is positioning, not storytelling
• Speed matters — but alignment matters more

AudTen is built to reflect how I believe early-stage investing should work — fewer bets, deeper conviction, and real accountability to founders.

The goal isn't to do more deals. It's to help founders win early in ways that compound over time — through clearer decisions, better alignment, and momentum that carries forward.

Founders who work with me can expect a partner who is directly involved, thoughtful about second-order effects, and invested in outcomes — not optics.

That means sharper fundraising strategy, clearer prioritisation, fewer avoidable mistakes, and a partner who shows up consistently through the hardest parts of the journey.
