I am currently a pre-seed, seed, and Series A investor. I was the first employee of the Noetic Fund, joining as an Analyst in 2020 and rising to the ranks of Senior Associate. Given my joining the firm at such an early stage, I have been involved in nearly all aspects of fund development and build-out, including but not limited to recruiting, due diligence, deal sourcing, getting pitched by prospective PCs, pitching prospective LPs and meeting with them 1-on-1 to provide insights on current deals and unique opportunities like direct investments (SPVs), term sheet drafting, memo writing, financial analysis of cap tables, analyzing financial statements and models (DCFs and valuations models primarily for pharmaceutical companies), pitch deck building, data room analysis, and building, patent and contract analysis, closing binder compilation for various deal types (SAFEs, loans, equity, convertible notes), etc. I am now an investment manager specializing in the Nordic biotech market, which is deeply embedded in the Medicon Valley. I have cross-Atlantic experience, having invested in the EU, UK, Israel, Switzerland, USA, and Canada.
