My responsibility as an intellectual capital investor is to make your project investible by assisting you in:

Focusing on what matters

The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes. This principle is true in almost every situation and every domain. I aim to help you see the 20% that matters.

Predicting favourable outcomes

I think like an investor, so my main concern is to predict the odds of success of your venture. Rather than decide if to invest or not, I can tell you based on my experience where your strengths weaknesses are and maybe also what to do about it.

Preventing foreseeable issues

It is better to prevent a problem than fix it. Experience is what is required to avoid preventable ones. Of course, some are unavoidable, but we do not care about those since we have no control over them. If you can anticipate problems, your chances of success increase significantly.

Preparing your investment strategy

Execution is your duty, and it something in which I have no affair. My goal is to assist you in the preparation phase. To use a metaphor if you want to climb the Himalaya, I will not carry your bag. However, I am interested in discussing with you what you should put in your bag while you are still packing.

Looking at different perspectives

I do not intend to take decisions instead of you but to help you look at them from a different perspective. My experience is not better than yours, it is just different, and my goal is to help you see the problem in a new way based on a different set of experiences.

Screening new opportunities

There are many opportunities out there, but that they are difficult to recognize. The only way to identify an opportunity in its early stage comes from experience.

How do I work

I only accept shares or stock options, not monetary payments. There are no deliverables except discussions over the phone, and I don't schedule calls in advance. If you are happy with the above, get in touch here.
