Innovation Accelaration
"Innovation Acceleration (IA)" – a motto born from my journey in the innovation and VC industry, further defined through AI. I use the IA next to my name as a pledge to support the tech ecosystem with my work.
​
I connect startups with organisations by embracing open innovation to drive technological, societal, and environmental advancements. I do this through market research and strategy consulting. AI is a topic I am building my expertise on to help companies with their digital and AI transformation.
​
I dedicate my time to supporting startups and contributing to their acceleration. I do this through mentoring startups or connecting organisations with opportunities through venture clienting. By leveraging AI, I also provide custom tools for automation, content creation, and analytics, accelerating growth and making advanced capabilities accessible to all.
