Investment analysis and data, currently based in Dubai. Moving into private equity, growth equity and venture capital.
About
For the last couple of years I've worked on investment analysis. At Hypericum.ai, a boutique of former private equity investors, I built the data pipelines and trend analysis behind the firm's investment platform, working on historical PE deals.
In 2026 I co-founded Nemoo, an AI reading platform for primary schools. We built the product, ran a pilot with over 100 students and took it to market — and then concluded that the pricing and demand weren't there for a venture-scale business.
I'm now looking to move fully into investing, in private equity, growth equity or venture capital. I'm currently based in Dubai but open on location. If you work in the space, it would be great to connect.
