Co-Founder of Victoria at Nvidia Inception Program

I’m the co-founder and CEO of Victoria, a next-generation Gen AI-powered social network creating happiness through meaningful connections. It was featured on Elle, Esquire, and the Evening Standard. I’m also an artist working on abstract oil paintings, a young art collector, a published author, a private investor, and an angel investor investing in tech startups. My hobbies include fitness, travelling, boxing, literature, and tennis. We believe that a revolution is coming in the way people interact, network, and meet online. Offline interactions are not compartmentalised. The online world, too, is becoming more holistic. Victoria is the first step beyond staged dating and networking apps towards a private community where the boundaries, like in real life, are blurry, but the connections are much deeper and more real. Victoria has robust technology building gen AI agentic networking, a gen AI membership selection algorithm, a curated event marketplace and an AI matching algorithm for dating and networking. We have made excellent traction: -$3.6 mn raised: family and friends ($3.4 mn), angel investor (0.27 mn) -Elle named Victoria as one of the best dating apps in 2024 -30,000 on waiting list -50% open rate on monthly newsletters from 40,000 subscribers -A strong team: Co-founder & CTO (exited two start-ups, one to Oculus owned by Meta), Advisor Ken Goldman (ex-CFO of Yahoo and ex-President of Hillspire, LLC, the family office of Eric Schmitt), CEO (second-time founder), NED (ex-Head of Growth Marketing at Bumble) -Brand partners: Maddox (art gallery), Home House (private members club), Wolf and Badger (fashion marketplace)
