about

it started with a cafe at 19. then a fund. now the frontier of ai. the thread running through all of it is the same: what happens when the right people end up in the same room.

these days i'm chief of staff at impactfull partners, an equity fund that uses ai to read trade, consumer and supplier data and spot industry trends early.

the road here took the long way around: a book café in india, built at 19 while still a student, with an events company running on the side. a design collective in paris during covid. incubation and acceleration programs for student and impact entrepreneurs. then the capital side: venture at elaia, two deep tech funds of my own (edenia & curcuma), and a hedge fund. after that, motier ventures, where i led la maison, an ai founder space in the center of paris, and now impactfull.

the rest of the time: t/o coffee, a morning series for people who build things. dinners that have brought together 100+ execs who'd never have met otherwise. and curcuma, a newsletter that moves between markets, culture, and whatever won't leave me alone.

based in paris. from dubai.
