About

I am an entrepreneur and a connector. My goal in life is to bring people together, help solve problems and most importantly make a positive impact in the world. Since 2016, I’ve helped startups and progressive businesses to achieve their visions by connecting them to world-class software engineering at Pangea.ai. I believe that the future of work is distributed, with companies increasingly embracing flexible work models and global talent. My results include: → Founded the company at 25 years old with zero experience, technical expertise, or funding → Bootstrapped the company from inception to growth → Hired a diverse team of 16 nationalities and 70% women → Together, we went from $0 to mid $7-figures in ARR → Facilitated over $250m in business on the platform → Connected over 1500+ companies with dev agencies for their needs → Built a talent platform with over 120+ dev agencies and 12000+ talent → Built an organisational due diligence framework to source and filter for top dev agencies Today, I support my team, entrepreneurs and business owners by sharing tips on building partnerships, hiring talent and growing businesses. I also invest in early-stage companies like: → Groq | AI | US → Flooz | Web3 | US → Amini.ai | AI | Kenya → Deckmatch | AI | Norway → Mojo | HealthTech | UK → SolarSquare | Renewable Energy | India I am also a board member and strategic advisor to: → Pinovo | OceanTech | Norway → Nara | PR | UK Always interested in connecting with great people and helping build a better tomorrow.
