About me
As an Associate, I spend my days searching for Europe’s next-generation-defining companies and supporting our portfolio on their journey to PMF. I believe that small, consistent efforts lead to significant outcomes — ‘brick by brick, great things get built’. Whether it’s connecting founders to the broader Seedcamp Nation, helping trial and error a new GTM strategy, or being that late-night call during tough times, I strive to stand by our founders every step of the way.
Prior to joining Seedcamp as an intern, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in commerce (still not quite sure what that means) and was a Fulbright Fellow in Budapest.
I grew up in Heidelberg and Washington D.C., and am a native German, Hungarian, and English speaker. When not thinking about startups, you’ll find me in a park, at a ceramics studio, or on the sofa reading fiction.
From Day One
A sense of purpose is infectious — it’s why I love partnering with founders with a fiercely opinionated take on the future. I’m a pure generalist — whether that purpose comes from fixing our energy grid or the heavy machinery industry, I work hard on behalf of our founders to turn their vision into a reality.
