Bio
What I've done so far: I've raised with my YOBE team more than $64M internationally over the past 3 years. I’ve advised and worked for the private office of HRH Prince Al Saud of Saudi Arabia to invest a total of $36M in different European startups. The investment portfolio has a ROI of 1050% since 2015. I’ve participated in multiple M&As and IPOs. I’ve been a consultant for many startups in Europe and the US. I've raised $1M on the Crowdfunding platform Kickstarter with one single project. I built 2 companies from A to Z (from $0 to $2M in sales) and sold one of them. Successfully participated in positive exits.
About Investments
We are sector-agnostic, focusing on late Seed to Series A investments. We look for companies showing growth, with a minimum of $500k ARR to confirm product-market fit. We prefer managing teams with positive exit records. Our investment tickets range from $25k to $1M, with the potential to go higher if we syndicate the deal. We are in the process of establishing a new $20M fund, set to launch in Q2 2025.Additionally, we provide advisory services.
