A partner at VentureFriends who’s been writing early-stage checks for over eight years across their four pan-European funds. Before crossing over to the VC table, he spent a decade in London blending raw startup operator grit with institutional finance experience.
Pavlos brings zero fluff and maximum context to early-stage investing. Because he’s spent years helping founders navigate the messy middle of scaling, he knows that winning across Europe takes way more than just a slick pitch deck and a massive market size slide.
He also knows what makes pan-European funds actually pull the trigger, how to structure early rounds so you don’t regret it later, and what operators miss when they try to go from local hero to international player.
