Standout Ventures

I serve as an angel investor for Standout Ventures, a syndicate fund formed in 2023 that's dedicated to early-stage venture capital. The fund is managed by a team of early and late-stage investors, successful operators, and close-knit colleagues, many of whom have experience with notable firms such as Blackstone, Lightbank, KKR, Detroit Venture Partners, and more.

At Standout Ventures, I take the lead in sourcing and evaluating early-stage startups across diverse sectors. My role extends to contributing to crucial investment decisions, with check sizes ranging between $25K and $100K.

PeakSpan Capital

As a Growth Equity Summer Analyst at PeakSpan Capital, I handled growth-stage B2B SaaS companies. I sourced and evaluated opportunities, conducted thorough due diligence, and performed extensive market and competitor analysis. I crafted detailed investment memos, engaged directly with entrepreneurs, and supported strategic growth initiatives, including business development and identifying M&A targets.

This internship honed my expertise in venture capital, particularly in lead generation, market analysis, and due diligence.

Rocket Internet SE

As an Entrepreneur in Residence at Rocket Internet SE, a renowned venture studio, my role involved the launching of various DTC eCommerce and EdTech startups. My tasks ranged from designing the product, defining the go-to-market strategy, and establishing a brand identity, to drafting a compelling project narrative and leading key elements of the marketing and PR strategy.

This offered me the opportunity to not only apply best practices in a structured environment but also engage in the scrappy groundwork intrinsic to startup success.
