I have 30+ years as a founder, operator, investor, board member and advisor. I have founded/co-founded multiple companies and have dealt with cofounder issues directly. I have invested in individual companies that have achieved $2b in revenue, $1b in profit, $30b in valuation. Plus on the other side of the spectrum, I have seen lots ofdifferent poor behaviour by some investors, founders and lawyers. My value add is: - the ability to quickly filter out the wrong people. - fundraising - strategy - focus - making tough decisions - cashflow planningCurrently investing directly in startups (mainly tech) at all stages and in funds (most asset classes) as an LP globally. I invested early in Supercell (majority acquired by Tencent), Unity Software (NYSE:U), Radiant Entertainment (acquired by Riot Games), Boomlagoon (acquired by Wargaming), Peak (acquired by Hachette Livre), Gameclub (acquired by Take-Two Interactive), Doppio Games (acquired by Fortis). Previously, I cofounded a seed VC firm & was an investment banker at various firms. I have both a HBA & MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at University of Western Ontario in Canada.If you message me with a pitch deck link for your company or fund then do not send me a docsend link or anything requesting an email and or password as I will ignore it.

Solved — Solved develops intuitive software that replaces the manual process of incident management and root-cause analysis in a collaborative way across the whole food supply chain.Most of the food factories record incidents on paper or Excel sheets. For this reason, they lose a lot of information and a lot of time when managing internal incidents andcustomer complaints.This problem gets even bigger when the entire supply chain (including supermarkets, big corporates, factories…) is involved in the incident resolution process. Everyone works on their own closed system, and the exchange of information about incidents is done through mountains of emails and endless phone calls. That makes collaboration and communication chaotic.As a result, incidents are never fully resolved and factories will keep having the same issues without acting on root causes; which means that large amounts of resources are wasted.
