01 — Investments
Capital with conviction.
I invest in early-stage teams building the infrastructure of modern finance — and the controls that keep it trustworthy.
01 — Thesis
What I back.
Finance is being rebuilt as software. The teams that win will be the ones institutions can trust on day one — fast to integrate, and safe to approve.
01
Payments & infrastructure
The rails underneath: payment orchestration, settlement, ledgers and the APIs banks and fintechs build on.
02
Banking SaaS
Software that helps banks and lenders operate — core systems, onboarding, lending workflows, data.
03
RegTech & compliance
Tools that make regulatory obligations cheaper to meet and easier to prove.
04
Fraud, identity & risk
Detection, verification and decisioning that stop losses without stopping good customers.
02 — After the cheque
What founders get.
Bank-ready
What a risk committee, a procurement team and an information security review will ask — before they ask it.
Introductions
Warm, relevant introductions to institutions, partners and co-investors when there is a real reason for them.
Compliance by design
AML, fraud and data controls built into the product early, when it is cheap to do so.
Candour
Direct feedback, quickly. Founders get the hard question in private rather than the surprise in public.
