About

I build and back companies. My first was sold to Meta. The second, WaystoCap, went through Y Combinator, was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and was acquired.

Today I operate the African Trade Exchange for Afreximbank and UNECA, and I am building a new AI company in stealth.

Alongside that I invest early, often with friends, in founders I would want to work with.
