Startup Advisor | Mentor | Genuinely would love to learn about what drives you and how I can be of service. South African born 🇿🇦, (with a funny accent), living in LA. I have crafted a career that epitomises a renaissance man, marked by diverse accomplishments, amassing successful company exits and liquidity events across several industries. Driven by my fervid pursuits, I assumed the role of Startup Grind Director in Los Angeles, showcasing my commitment to fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems. Co-Founded ParkUpp, an online marketplace that connects commercial property owners with unused parking to people that need parking on long and short term basis - “Airbnb for Parking”. Co-Founded Adrail SA, an innovative patented polyurethane film, we applied the film to the black escalator handrails you would typically find in shopping malls, casinos and airports, essentially putting "the brand in the consumers hand". Founding team member and Vice President of Quickened Diagnostic INC. High complexity Laboratory, scaled to 3 labs across 3 states in 9 months across the US (CA, NY, VA). Presently, I am the CEO and Co-Founder of Imagine Biotech, a groundbreaking venture at the intersection of biotechnology and machine learning. Imagine Biotech collaborates with Biotech VCs, investors and startup founders, de-risking biotech investments by identifying the likelihood of success of a proposed drug candidate. I’ve recently followed my true love and passion for sports, with recent investments in Pickleball and Oaks its Holding together with LA Galaxy bringing newly proposed MLS Next Pro expansion team Ventura County FC.
