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 that's literal: i run la maison by motier ventures, an ai founder space in the center of paris, built for founders and the communities around them.

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, before joining motier to lead la maison.

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.
