Technology moves fast.Law & capital must keep up.I help close the gap.

Counselcrypto, fintech & tech law — managing partner @ Lemur Legal, head of compliance @ GateHub

Technology rarely waits for regulation. With Lemur Legal I advise founders, financial institutions and technology companies where law, finance and emerging technology intersect — from MiCA, PSD2 and DORA to token launches, contracts and regulatory strategy. Move fast and break things, with me in the support role.

Supervisorfinancial supervision — supervisory board @ JonatanMars Invest

In regulated finance, growth must be matched by sound governance. As President of the Supervisory Board at JonatanMars Invest, a regulated asset management and brokerage company, I provide strategic oversight of management, governance, risk and regulatory compliance. I bring experience from banking, capital markets, fintech and corporate law to the boardroom, helping ensure that ambitious business decisions are supported by robust controls and long-term accountability.

As an angel investor, I back exceptional individuals and early ideas directly. As Managing Partner at Suricate Ventures, a generalist micro-VC, I invest across technology sectors and help founders navigate the realities of building and scaling a company. At IBEX Equity Partners, our focus is on defence technology, dual-use innovation and technologies with strategic relevance. For me, investing is not only about providing capital — it is about smart money: sharing experience, opening doors and helping strong teams turn bold ideas into enduring companies.

I have co-founded two deep-tech ventures. Blocksquare provides a turn-key, regulatory-compliant solution for real-estate tokenization. Bloctopus Intelligence is the crypto forensics and crypto recovery business.

MentorIP, legal & investment readiness — mentor @ Start:Up Slovenia

Founders rarely need theory. They need clarity on what to do next. I mentor startups on intellectual property, legal strategy, investment readiness and business development. Drawing on my experience as a founder, investor and legal counsel, I help teams identify critical risks, strengthen their business model and prepare for investors, partners and international growth.

Evaluatordeep-tech, defence-tech & dual-use — external evaluator

As an external evaluator for NATO DIANA, Horizon Europe and other innovation programmes, I assess deep-tech, defence-tech and dual-use projects from commercial, strategic and investment perspectives. I evaluate the strength of the team, market potential, scalability, business model and the project’s ability to deliver meaningful results. A good evaluator does not simply score a proposal — they identify whether an ambitious idea can become a credible and impactful venture.
