About

After decades in the tech industry (started with dev then transitioned to Devops and AI). I recently decided to start building. While working for different type of companies in Europe, I noticed so many frictions for companies while they are trying to adopt and adapt to the AI world (from data sovereignty, access to AI for SMBs, Computation issues, security etc). My goal is to solve part of those issues mainly for Europeans users and Businesses. So, I'm launching my new Labs (Firstrepublic Labs: https://firstrepubliclabs.com). Our first product is a RAG Saas targeting individuals and SMBs (https://raikiro.com)

I was a VC for 8 years. The same broken pattern kept showing up.

I spent 8 years as a VC. Invested in 47 companies, read thousands of decks, sat through hundreds of pitches.

And the whole time, from my side of the table, I kept noticing the same thing. The founders struggling to raise usually didn't have worse ideas. They were the ones who couldn't get in front of the right investors, or were emailing the wrong ones with the wrong message.
