About Me

I am an active business angel with a focus on impact-driven ventures, particularly in climate tech, health tech, and digital empowered solutions. In parallel, I work as a Business Architect — a strategist who connects ecosystems, sparks innovation, and transforms vision into concrete business outcomes. My sweet spot lies in bridging Europe and Japan: I help European startups expand into the Japanese market by connecting them with top-tier strategic partners, VCs, and CVCs. Conversely, I support Japanese startups with go-to-market strategies and business development across Europe, offering both strategic advisory and hands-on mentoring.

Hear My Insights

Why are generalist VCs diving more into DeepTech in recent times?

Deeptech is no longer a niche — it’s becoming central to the future of innovation. But it’s not just the technology that’s driving momentum. A new generation of founders is actively choosing to build in deeptech, shifting the narrative and the opportunity landscape. In this panel, we’ll explore why generalist VCs are increasingly leaning into deeptech, what’s changed in founder behavior, and how the funding environment is adapting to meet the moment.
