I Share Insights From Founders & Investors Every Week | Host @ Founders & Funding Podcast | BDM @ Perfutil | GTM Engineer

Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland
GTM AIex-Lovableex-Education Marketing Agency

I work with startup founders on one thing that matters more than ideas: execution. I speak weekly with founders, CEOs, and investors about what it really takes to build, fund, and scale early-stage companies, from MVP to first revenue.

No theory. No recycled X threads. Just real lessons from people in the trenches. I think and operate like a GTM engineer - designing repeatable systems across product, sales, and growth. I’m currently: • BDM @ Perfutil Technologies (AI app development) • CMO & GTM Engineer @ Teemie • Host of the Founders & Funding podcast (1,900+ subscribers) Inside my content, I share: • How founders actually raised their first round • What didn’t work (and nearly killed the company) • Practical GTM, MVP, and growth lessons • Honest investor perspectives If you’re a founder building pre-seed → Series A, you’ll find this useful. 👉 Subscribe to “Founders & Funding” via my profile
