As an investor, I’m in a privileged position to work together with people that want to have an impact and make a difference. Entrepreneurs are lifting our society to the next level by developing new products, services, and technologies – the opportunity to partner with them on this journey is something I am extremely grateful for.
Gaming is one of my biggest passions. I believe that digital media will explode in the coming years and video gaming, being one of the most immersive platforms, will flourish. Any founder who is pushing the boundaries in this space will have my full attention.
I am on a continuous journey of finding truth and meaning. Traveling helps me gain deeper insights by providing me with new perspectives.
