I make Pre-Seed to Series B founders successfully fundraise by helping you build your fundraising operating system. | $350m+ raised with founders. | Follow me for tips on fundraising.

I have spent the last 10 years trying to find the "secret" sauce to making you fundraise for your company.

And you know what?

There's no secret. 

It’s just a matter of having: 

- The right preparation & processes
- A clear and concise narrative & storytelling
- Structured relationships built over a long period 

The real "secret", if there's any at all, is that you need to build a system around your fundraise to make sure you do the proper work.

A system means that allows you to: 

- Efficiently build the right relationships with investors and connectors
- Influence investors that YOU are a good bet
- Take them through your process in an efficient manner 

All the while keeping accountability of you doing the boring but important stuff.

During the $400m+ in venture funding I have been a part of, I was able to meet best-in-class  entrepreneurs. 

Some of these entrepreneurs have gone on to raise $100M+ in fundraising each. ​

All of them possessed operating systems for the fundraises. 

I’ve built such a system for fundraising founders. 

And I can help you build yours. 

But as with all things, getting started, maintaining consistency and keeping accountability is easier said than done.

The founders I have helped with their fundraises have gone on to raise $250M+. 

...And I'm doing all of this with a 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE.

Now, are you serious about building fundraising for your startup? 

Let's make it happen.

(I CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED YOUR FUNDRAISE).

I'll see you at the top!

PSYKHE AI

PSYKHE AI is the taste intelligence layer - a persistent psychographic OS that powers cross-context personalization.

We help systems understand what people like. PSYKHE AI computes psychographic identity from real-time signals and uses it to power live models that predict what people will want - across products, platforms, and agents - before they search.

The world before PSYKHE AI is generic, search-led, and prompt-focused. The world after is proactive, taste-driven and personality conscious.

We are currently active in the CPG/grocery, fashion/apparel, interiors, and beauty verticals.

Founder & CEO at PSYKHE AI | Centralizing Personalization Through Deep Learning & Psychology | Patent Holder | Speaker

PSYKHE AI is a Personalization-as-a-Service platform for ecommerce that uses ML and psychographics to deliver real-time, per-user AI-merchandising.

I racked my brain for something sharp and sardonic to say, but the truth is: I’m just plain old thankful this Thanksgiving. 
 
I’m thankful to our customers, who didn’t just pilot PSYKHE AI - they immediately understood the value and gave us the kind of momentum every founder hopes for. Their buy-in has made the product feel like a no-brainer, not a sell.

I’m grateful to our investors, who’ve backed us with capital and such touchingly staunch belief.

And I’m especially thankful to the handful of new advisors who came on this year to carve out time from within their impossibly full calendars to push my thinking to the next level, as well as to share hard-won lessons and networks. 

PSYKHE as a company, product, and as a new paradigm of consumerism, is in a stronger place than ever.
 
We’re at a unique moment in the market where everyone is seeing what AI can do, but also what it absolutely can’t do yet because it's lacked certain data. And as the industry starts realizing that actual personalization requires a world model of taste (representations of what is actually happening on a brain/real-world level when a customer picks one thing or the other) our position keeps getting stronger in that gap.

That’s what I’m thankful for today; from a wine bunker in Monaco, learning about new verticals (more on this next week).

Founder & CEO @ PSYKHE AI | Psychographic World-Model Infrastructure For Commerce & Agentic Systems

First CES. We’ve always built with the end-consumer in mind. That’s why the business value emerged so fast. Excited to see what the next few years look like as our models plug deeper into the ecosystem.

New site is live. Last week, we shipped our first search product and signed our first travel partner - proof that taste isn’t vertical-bound. It’s the anchor that cuts across domains.

We updated the PSYKHE AI site to better reflect our infrastructure as well as the science behind our psychographic world-model and JEPA embeddings. 

Shoutout to Nicholas Gelardi for putting up with my incessant requests for drawings of vectors and the abstract latent manifold, somehow translating it all into something elegant + technical. 

2026: expanding this layer across commerce and agentic systems. LFG.

"But I thought world models were about simulating the physical world."

The brain is a physical system. Neural circuits fire like electrical systems, but instead of powering machines, they shape memory, emotion, and choice. We literally are our neural wiring + cocktail of neurotransmitter ratios + past experience.

Most world models start with physics: objects, motion, space. But ours starts deeper. 

Because when you’re really into a new Gore-Tex coat, when you’re craving a specifc type of pho, when you decide to go for a run - that’s not an abstract process. That’s your body, your wiring, your past experiences, your identity - all triggering action. It’s physical, just not visible.

We’re building a world model that includes that layer. Because if you want to simulate human behavior, you need to model the structure of the internal world too.

Priors vs. Proxies when building a world model:

A prior is the structure a system already knows before any new data arrives - the built-in assumptions it uses to interpret the world.

A proxy (noisy, superficial, easy-to-collect) is a stand-in signal you use because you don’t have the real thing.

Ecommerce example:

Someone orders a bag of classic washed Kenyan AA beans.

[Dumb system]

Proxy:
This person likes African coffees. And just generally coffee. “Recommend more African coffees.” "Recommend a V60 drip."

[Smart system]

Real Prior:
This is an analytical, detail-driven mind - someone who values precision over novelty, high Conscientiousness, high Openness, and clear sensory structure.

World-model leap; recommends:

 → Bellroy Slim Sleeve
 → Moleskine Nasa-inspired limited-edition journal
 → Muji acrylic storage
 → Nakiri-style Japanese kitchen knife
 → A.P.C. New Standard jeans (raw denim)
