April 2026 — investing in EU healthcare, building in ecommerce and padel tech, publishing weekly.

What I'm working on

Investing. Closing Series A positions in European healthcare. Reviewing pipeline, running diligence, writing memos.

Building. Two racket-sport ventures — ecommerce since 2017, and a padel tracker on iOS and Apple Watch. V1 is feature-complete; next is field-testing.

Writing. Three posts a week on LinkedIn — European healthtech on Mondays, CFO-meets-CMO on Wednesdays, founder lessons on Fridays.

Competing. Training for the next padel season.

What I'm thinking about

  • How regulatory depth in Europe becomes a moat for the companies that can navigate it.
  • Where AI changes the cost structure of building a healthtech company.
  • How to keep Series A deal velocity without compromising diligence quality.

Where I am
