How I Work
I've reviewed about 3,000 decks, interviewed more than 500 founders, and sat in and advised IC meetings for almost 50 investments across Asia. This pattern recognition allows me to quickly identify bottlenecks in product, tech, GTM, and HR strategy.
I tell founders I always have 8 minutes for them if they ever need me, no matter the time of day or night—though the real heavy lifting happens in our dedicated, hour-long strategy sessions every week.
"You didn't just talk about AI, you showed how leaders can actually use it to think faster, decide better, and execute with clarity. That shift from information to real capability is what matters. This wasn't training for the sake of learning. This was capability building for scale."
What People Say
"Alex is a force. He has been a constant lifeline for entrepreneurs, especially for us. We would not be as far along if it wasn't for Alex. He has a really special ability to break down problems and tackle them from the principles, and I always leave meetings with Alex having more clarity."
Abhi Agarwal
CEO @ Living Roots
"Alex has been an invaluable support, helping me build crucial connections for funding my company. He's truly my driving force... After just one meeting with him, my sales shot up by 200%—he identified and removed the blocks that were holding me back."
Mustafa Al Momin
Founder & CEO, Palki Motors
"We only had one call with Alex and only one piece of SEO advice. Since then we have 60k users/month."
Danil Khasanshin
Co-founder & CEO, Laoshi
"HACKING!!! That is the 1st word that comes to mind... Hacking how to disrupt distribution models with product... This dude puts the pedal to the metal! When talking about SHIPPING and disrupting Alex just GO IT!... It is seldom that you meet Product Peeps that can wear and think in a commercial mind set. The combination of these two things is what makes you GREAT and super valuable."
Ithamar Sorek
Chief Revenue Officer, Refuel4
"Alex was the smartest and hardest-working junior associate we had on staff. He produced excellent articles, generated strong story ideas... Alex matched tremendous skill as both a writer and a photographer, which is a rare asset and one that proved invaluable."
George W. Stone
Former Editor in Chief, National Geographic Traveler
"Alex is extremely bright, even when compared to the best of the best. He's tenacious about his learning... A risk taker and creative problem solver, Alex embraces travel and diverse cultures with enthusiasm and sensitivity. I'm pleased to know him as a person, as a friend, and as an academic advisee."

What I Advise & Coach On
Company Building & Business Models
Drawing from 25+ years operating across Asia and working at VC accelerators, I help founders refine unit economics, define product-market fit, and construct resilient business models.
AI Strategy & Implementation
Move past the AI hype. I work directly with leadership to deploy practical AI tooling like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Antigravity, systematically upskilling your team for an AI-first future.
Technology Leadership & Architecture
Technical roadmap guidance, scaling infrastructure, and forging elite engineering culture based on decades of rapid prototyping and high-scale buildouts (like my time scaling core teams at Renren).
Leadership & Org Design
Guidance on structuring teams, developing leaders, unlocking bottlenecks, and creating cultures that reliably ship. Especially critical for organizational agility in the AI era.
Connecting Founders & Building Bridges
A thriving ecosystem requires real human connection. Whether it's organizing cross-border farm visits in Chiang Mai, hosting last-minute founder dinners, or discussing the future of agritech and sustainability, I actively work to bridge the gap between people and ideas across Asia.
Fundraising & Investor Relations
Leveraging my experience reviewing thousands of pitch decks and actively investing via Particle Alliance, I assist founders in crafting compelling narratives, structuring deals, and navigating complex funding rounds.
Pitch Events & Demo Day Prep
Having run accelerator programs and hosted multiple demo days, I help founders refine their story, stage presence, and deck structure to deliver high-impact pitches that resonate cleanly with investors.
Neurodivergent Leadership
As a founder managing my own neurodivergency (ADHD, dyslexia), I understand the unique challenges and superpowers that come with it. I coach neurodivergent founders on leveraging their creative problem-solving skills, building structures that work for them, and navigating the often rigid expectations of the business world.
