As a Principal at Geek Ventures, I invest in and support pre-Seed and Seed stage startups founded by U.S. immigrants with innovative and impactful ideas across various sectors. I leverage my 9 years of experience in venture capital, my strong background and expertise in b2b software and data, and my extensive network of contacts and partners to help founders achieve their goals and scale their businesses. Before joining Geek Ventures, I served as a Principal and Head of Israel at LETA Capital, where I led the firm's investments in Late-Seed and Series A stage tech startups globally, with a focus on Israel and CEE. I also served as a Board Member at Qmarkets, a leading provider of enterprise idea and innovation management platforms. Before Leta, I worked at London-based corporate-backed accelerator Founders Factory founded by Brent Hoberman, and before that in Israel at the late-stage VC/PE called Magical Capital founded by Jeremie Berrebi. I am passionate about discovering and nurturing the next generation of tech entrepreneurs, and I am always looking for new opportunities to connect and collaborate with them.

I’m a tech person with a strategic mindset and curiosity for new problems and solutions. My passion is learning - about new industries, trends, and cultures. And working on solving climate change. I studied Anthropology and ran a film production company, which taught me to look at problems as uniquely situational and part of an overall narrative. The MBA added structured thinking and a focus on business. I’m an expert in marketplaces, internationalization, and building distributed teams. I have experience working in large corporations (Google) and several startups, from pre-seed to series C (Lemonade, Udemy, Centrifuge, Flowcarbon, Neutral). New territory doesn’t phase me; I thrive on it. I moved to San Francisco with only one suitcase to find a job in the Valley. To this day, this is one of the best decisions I have made. I work remotely and live seasonally between Berlin, Mexico City, and the US. I make angel investments in startups with a convincing thesis in my spare time and advise pre-seed and seed-stage teams. Skills: - Business Development - Negotiation & Deal Making - Internationalization - Process Development & Management - Building Distributed Teams - Strategic Market Development
