Follow on LinkedInI’ve been working toward this for ten years. I’m excited to introduce my new project—Ventora https://ventora.cc/
Execution is no longer the problem. AI has removed that bottleneck. Design — faster. Code — faster. Content — faster. Analytics — faster. QA — faster. What used to take teams and months now takes hours. So the question is no longer: “Can you build it?” The real question is: “Are you building the right thing — and in the right way?” Because speed without clarity just creates noise faster. AI doesn’t guarantee quality. It amplifies direction. You can generate something outstanding. Or something completely useless. Same tools. Different thinking. The difference is in: → how clearly you define the goal → how well you structure the context → how precisely you communicate intent Prompting is not about commands. It’s about framing reality for the system. And there’s a second layer most people miss: Data > intuition If your product is not connected to real user behavior — you’re just guessing faster. In the past, teams tried to bridge the gap between: product ↔ users ↔ developers Now, with AI, this gap can disappear. At Ventora, we embed user context directly into the system. So decisions are not based on opinions — but on real signals. AI didn’t just make execution faster. It made thinking the main bottleneck. And in this new reality: The winners won’t be those who build more. But those who understand better what should be built.
Thrilled to announce Ventora has expanded into 3 new markets this quarter. Our mission remains the same: give founders the capital AND the operational support they need to build globally. The future of venture is collaborative.
Just wrapped up an incredible panel at Web Summit on the state of European deep tech. The talent and ambition in this ecosystem are staggering — the funding gap is closing faster than most realize.
Mentorship is not about having all the answers. It is about asking the right questions at the right time. Proud to have worked with 50+ founders this year — each one teaching me as much as I teach them.
The best founders I have met share one trait: they listen more than they speak. In a world obsessed with pitching, the real competitive advantage is deep listening — to customers, to markets, to the data.
