Startup Advisor

What I advise on#
Advisory and consulting for idea and early-stage founders, on the decisions that shape the next round:
- Business Model: Validating the idea and projecting profitable unit economics.
- Product Strategy: From a lean MVP to state-of-the-art AI tech.
- Traction & GTM: Growth from the first sale to $1M+ ARR.
- Fundraising: The pitch, the data room and the strategy for closing the round.

Background#
I have 25 years in tech, with 3 exits and 10 failures.
In 2010, I founded dvhb, a startup R&D studio where I worked with more than 1,000 entrepreneurs and executives across Europe, the US, and Asia.
Since 2023, I've trained at VC Lab, gained hands-on experience at Func Ventures and published MondayVC, a newsletter on venture capital. I know how founders think and how investors assess.
Mentoring is part of my advisory work. I've mentored founders at 500 Global, Founder Institute, NUS Enterprise BLOCK71 and Plug and Play APAC: see my mentoring logbook.
