Illuminating Fund Allocation
Founded by a former GP who raised an early-stage deep tech fund and now raises capital for a top-tier European fund. This is what I'm seeing and learning from sitting across from LPs every week.
Lumenis is where I share what I’m seeing in the fundraising ecosystem— what LPs are looking for, where they are allocating, and what differentiates successful raises. Real insights from both sides of the capital relationship.

About Me
With years of experience navigating the venture capital landscape from being a founder; early stage European deep-tech investor; on the Council of Innovate UK and always on a plane, I've witnessed firsthand the realities of LP relationships and fundraising dynamics.
I'm someone who learned the venture capital game by making mistakes, taking help from other GPs and working it out. I owe a great deal to my mentor, Rob Paull, co-founder of Lux Capital, who kindly shared his knowledge and rolodex.
From London to San Francisco, New York to Boston, LA to Chicago, Dubai to Saudi and everywhere in between, I've built relationships with LPs and spend my time learning what actually moves the needle in fund-raising conversations.
This exists to share those hard-won lessons and to learn from others on our unique journeys.
