V17 is an early-stage venture fund investing in Consumer Apps, B2B SaaS, FinTech, and Commerce
Our edge:
we don't just write checks — we bring world-class performance marketing execution and product excellence to help portfolio companies win international markets
I help businesses with revenues of $0.5M to $65M grow from small to medium scale
For startups,
I focus on the growth stage — building the right team, finding scalable channels, and preparing for the next funding round
For established businesses,
I help navigate the operational and strategic challenges that come with scaling: from restructuring to entering new markets
I have a proven track record of helping businesses if they experience:
01
Lack of growth for 2+ years
02
Hitting the ceiling of their market
03
Ready to scale but unsure how
I work with:
Market assessment
International market entry
Financial and business modelling + P&L validation
Operational management setup
Strategy and tactics development
Fundraising
Founder-investor relations & alignment
Company structuring
Product development
Setting up sales and marketing processes
M&A, EXIT
My approach:
01
Think in terms of the market, not the company — and stay focused on the direction
02
Only focus and a gross margin above 50% can turn a small company into a mid-size one

B2B SaaS

Beyond Business
Work Hard, Live Wild
My goal is to increase global productivity through businesses — to add economic value to the global economy and help leaders grow
I play golf — it's the best networking tool I know
I travel to wild places — nature resets everything
