Working together since 2022

Companies

The founders who impress me most are..

high-caliber, working around the clock for their businesses, realistic, and open to feedback.

The one word I’d choose to describe why Bek is different is..

meticulous.

The thing my colleagues least expected about me are..

my hilarious dance moves (however it does usually take a few drinks to bring them out).

A book/movie I often recommend to people is..

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

I'm most skeptical about..

diving into hype cycles, such as crypto or AI, solely due to FOMO. I prefer to gain a comprehensive understanding of the use case and technology, consistent with our approach to every other sector, and to ensure that the opportunity aligns with our investment principles before committing.

The most unexpected thing about being in venture is..

how closely connected this ecosystem is and how it operates based on references and feedback. Your genuine and proven support for founders plays a crucial role in determining the success of future opportunities, more so than anything else.
