Ventures
I angel invest in early-stage companies working on AI for drug discovery, healthcare, and clean technology. I back founders tackling hard technical problems where machine learning can have outsized real-world impact.
I also co-founded several projects in Cotonou spanning culture, commerce, media, and financial infrastructure. Building things at home matters to me as much as the science I do abroad.
