I have successfully secured investments across multiple companies, serving as a board observer for over a dozen portfolio companies. By leading strategic initiatives, I helped drive significant valuation growth in several companies within just 18 months. I actively sourced high-potential investment opportunities through diverse channels, including advising through multiple accelerators like Next Canada, Antler, and OneEleven. Working closely with partnering GPs, I led comprehensive due diligence efforts, analyzing key factors such as market dynamics, financial performance, competitive landscape, and cap table structures to inform investment decisions. I also developed detailed investment memos, offering clear insights and strategic recommendations to fund partners. My financial analysis experience includes evaluating forecasted growth, standard accounting metrics (revenues, GM, EBITDA, NWC), SaaS-specific metrics (ARR, bookings, burn rate), and conducting stress tests on runway and burn rate scenarios.
