Track record
21 engagements. Two exits. Founder rescues, hostile buyouts, mediations, restructures and capital. The receipts.
01 · Distressed
Walked into a fractured cap table and a stalled wallet business. Restructured the shareholders, raised $1.4M in 30 days and ended up taking 75% of the equity and the CEO seat.
Emergency restart-up of a stalled weight-loss venture. From $0 to $20,000 MRR in 2 days by rebuilding the offer and funnel from scratch. Earned 7.5% co-founder equity for the turnaround.
Insurtech with a shareholder war that was about to kill the company. Brought in as a neutral mediator between all main shareholders to unblock the deadlock.
Company on the brink. Performed a full cleanup so the company could close emergency financing and stay alive.
Founder trapped by a hostile VC. Cleaned up the company, brought in my investor network and negotiated to within $50,000 of a buyout. After I left, my groundwork was used to complete the buyout — at worse terms.
10-year-old messaging company with a tired strategy. Designed a new go-to-market, ran investor and customer meetings in Jakarta, managed the existing board and helped raise $1,000,000.
Mentored the founders through a tough fundraise in a difficult Hong Kong market. Helped close $525,000 to keep the company moving.
Structured and led a highly complex €10,700,000 side-deal into Exeger via Bragi shareholders. After Softbank invested 7 months later, the valuation 4×'d instantly and the shares were floated on Pareto Securities — instant liquidity, exceptional IRR.
