The Delta Office Hours

Each month, we bring pre-seed and seed-stage founders together at The Delta Campus for a day designed to help you move faster on the things that matter most.
At the heart of Office Hours is access to seasoned operators, investors, and domain experts across fundraising, product, growth, brand, hiring, and more.
You’ll have the opportunity to book multiple 1:1 sessions throughout the day, diving deep into your current challenges and getting sharp, personalised input.
Please note: You’ll need to arrive by 9:30 am for the icebreaker, if you miss it, your session will be cancelled.

With a background spanning architecture, an MBA with a focus on gamification, and a pivot into venture building during the pandemic, he brings an unusually multidisciplinary lens to the challenges early-stage founders face. He approaches startups the way an architect approaches a build holistically, structurally, and with a clear eye on what's load-bearing. At The Delta, he works hands-on with AI-powered systems in production, from multi-agent orchestration to low-code development pipelines, and translates that into practical guidance for founders looking to build leaner, move faster, and integrate AI where it actually creates leverage and not just noise.
