🎙️ Hi, I'm Christian (he/they), a multi-award-winning strategist, investor, and global keynote speaker. 🔹A former Venture Lead for EMEA at Bain, and World Economic Forum Global Shaper, I've spent over a decade advising Fortune 500 CEOs, fund managers, and startup founders across London, Hong Kong, New York, and San Francisco. As Founder of i³ investing – Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ founder/funder group – I'm an angel investor & board advisor in Health, Climate, Fintech, & Deeptech. 🔹Now I work across the ecosystem - consulting, coaching, and investing with system-shifting founders, bold VCs, and progressive corporates. As one of the few queer, people of colour to rise through these spaces (and the first in my family to attend university), I bring rare lived experience and razor-sharp strategic clarity to every room I'm in. 📌 For advisory, investing, or speaking enquiries: hello@i3investing.com 📍 What I Do Now: 1️⃣ Advisor to Founders, VCs, & Corporates 🔹 Strategy, growth, innovation, & venture advisory 🔹 Deal sourcing, due diligence, & portfolio servicing 🔹 Coaching & Consulting for C-Suite (CCC) with systems thinking 2️⃣ Founder & Investor @ i³ investing Leading Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ founder/funder group 🔹 Portfolio spans HealthTech, SexTech, DeepTech, FinTech, Climate, and Consumer startups. 🔹 Backing #intersectionalincredibles — bold, taboo-breaking system-changers 3️⃣ Global Keynote Speaker Delivering talks on innovation, investment, & inclusion 🔹 From workshops in boardrooms to stages like SXSW & Web Summit 🔹 Topics include: "4 Quadrants of Ingenuity (using WEF published model)", "GenAI in Late-Stage Capitalism", and "Using Systems Thinking to Scale your Business" 🔙 Experience at Bain (Venture Lead, EMEA) Advised global CEOs, fund managers, & founders on: 🔹Venture building & startup scaling 🔹Fund design & investing (ESG, GenAI & Alternative Asset theses) 🔹Classic strategy, corporate innovation, & growth 🔙 Select Case Highlights 🔹 Built a $150M ClimateTech fund on decarbonisation investing across the US & EU 🔹 Scaled GenAI, Consumer, & UrbanTech startups (Seed → Series C) 🔹 Led VC retainer on investment & advisory for emerging funds 🔹 Strategy lead to global CEOs on AgTech, CBD, and alternative assets 🔹 Guided LPs & corporates on innovative investment strategies 🎤 Speaker Highlights 🔹 Web Summit, SLUSH, SXSW, TechBBQ, IFGS, Latitude59, Sifted Summit 🔹 Sky News Live | British Chamber | Hong Kong TV | Imperial | LSE | UCL | LBS 💌 Let’s talk: hello@i3investing.com 🌐 linktr.ee/christiantooley
