Info

Hey there, my dear LinkedIn visitor 👋 Here I'm supposed to sum up my life 👇

Well.

I started as a software engineer in Chicago. Joined a hyper-growth startup in San Francisco. Launched a cleantech business in Kenya. Became a VC investor in Berlin. And launched a VC fund in Germany...

Pfiou 😮‍💨 (yeah, been grinding...)

Real talk?

A lot of hustle. Some wins, many scars, endless learning. And it all led to one big realization:

I’m here to take on the greatest challenge of our time: the climate crisis.

Why?

Because we need healthy food, safe water, clean air, and a thriving biosphere to survive. Oh, and to find meaning in life.

As for humanoid robots, Skynet, and living on Mars under oxygen masks... I’ll leave that to the Silicon Valley bros.

So, how am I tackling this climate crisis?

I’ve found my superpower: Investing.

7 years, 40 startups, 6.13x ROI 🔥 (unrealized, most investments still in play)

My mission now? To channel massive capital into Climate Tech ventures that slash megatons of CO2 emissions.

This isn’t just a career, it’s my life mission.

And I’m here to help the boldest founders and investors build world-changing companies.

If that’s you, let’s connect.

    Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and ocean are increasingly attractive in solving global problems and are considered to be the most promising solutions for the future. Wind is one of the greatest available potential energy sources. Its available energy is estimated to be 300 TW to 870 TW and only 5% of the available energy is capable of supplying the current worldwide energy demands. However, the disadvantage is that wind power generation is intermittent, depending upon weather conditions. Short-term energy storage is necessary in order to get a smooth and more cost-effective power output from a wind turbine.
