2024 marked my transition from supporting startups externally to building them from within. I started the year moderating a Venture Capital Panel on "Investing in Underrepresented Markets and Founders," hosted by LVCN in collaboration with Antler Global, Ascension VC, and Zinc VC. Tackling an often-overlooked topic, I shared insights encouraging more inclusive investment practices.

​

At LVCN, I grew our LinkedIn following to 11,000+ and hosted the first-ever London Venture Capital Summit, attracting 800+ attendees and spotlighting underserved sectors. I also helped Venture Capital Fellowship alumni secure roles and strengthen ties with industry leaders, gaining firsthand insight into founders' challenges in scaling operations.

​​

I also consulted for Proof of Knowledge (PoK), South America’s leading edtech platform for blockchain-based digital academic credentials. At Bett 2024, I built a UK sales pipeline, generating 120+ leads and nurturing relationships with school administrators, Ministry of Education representatives, and investors. This role sharpened my ability to align innovative products with market needs.

​

Later, I joined Eleos as the first member of their partnerships team, where I developed their strategy and secured eight deals projected to generate £100,000+ in their first month of launch in Q1/Q2 2025. These partnerships are pivotal to Eleos’ mission of selling one million policies by 2030, helping individuals safeguard their financial futures.

From reshaping conversations on inclusive venture capital to driving strategic partnerships, 2024 was pivotal in my journey to impact the UK’s tech ecosystem.
