01 · BENELUXBenelux: early-stage B2B and fintech
My primary geographic focus is Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. I look for early-stage B2B and fintech teams solving a specific business problem, with a useful product, early customer evidence and the ambition to grow internationally.
02 · PAKISTANPakistan: B2B products built to go abroad
I want to meet Pakistani founders building B2B products with a clear plan to expand beyond Pakistan. My focus is B2B software and fintech for business customers, with a clearly defined international target market and evidence of customer demand.
03 · B2BB2B products that earn their place
I look for software that helps businesses operate, sell or manage important workflows better. AI is relevant when it improves the product and customer economics; it is not a requirement or an investment thesis by itself.
FINTECHFintech for real business needs
Payments, financial operations and other fintech products interest me when the customer need and business model are clear. I want to understand adoption, trust, delivery costs and the regulatory work required in each intended market.
04 · PAKISTAN → INTERNATIONALFrom Pakistan to international customers
My interest is in helping assess Pakistani B2B businesses with credible international ambitions. The conversation starts with the target customer, market-entry plan and support the team actually needs. The right international market depends on the product, customer demand and evidence.
CO-INVESTMENTInvest together, with clearer context
I welcome co-investors with relevant B2B, fintech, operating or market knowledge. We can explore a specific company, share diligence and define where each partner can contribute. Any introductions or operating support should be agreed for the particular opportunity.
