Who I am

Plantec combines creative software expertise with a full-service venture studio model — supporting everything from concept development to delivery. Some clients engage for advisory work, others for technical builds, and in certain cases, Plantec invests directly or supports fundraising efforts via its FO and VC mandates.

Funding Requirements

I invest in the founders and a strong team, typically with the MVP and some transaction albeit some MRR depending on the industry. Typical disruptive concept or B2B, Web3, Climate, FinTech, Telco or creative economy and AI.

Value add

Three core areas of focus:
• Tech Studio: Supporting early-stage founders (cash or sweat equity)
🔗 plantec.io/studio
• Advisory & Tech resource services
🔗 plantec.io/scale-up
• Direct investments & FO/VC mandates
