About
I came to investing from the operating side. At Invenda, a Swiss retail-tech scale-up, I led a 12-person product team across Switzerland, the UK and Serbia and took a payments product from first sketch to client rollout.
Since 2025 I’ve worked on the investing side. At Mutschler Ventures, my family’s investment office, I sourced deals, built the models and ran full commercial, product and technical diligence on Knowunity. At Angel School VC I’m the first filter on US and Asia dealflow for a syndicate of 1,500+ LPs. I write the memos and pitch the deals that make it through.
Running a product team taught me what to look for in diligence. Does the product hold up, can the team ship, and will the numbers survive real customers? From January 2027 I’m available to join an investment team full time, in venture, growth or private equity.

Beyond work
Sport keeps me grounded: tennis, padel, squash, golf and football, whenever I get the chance. I’ve supported Hamburger SV and Arsenal since I was a kid and get to as many live games as I can.
I coach a U15s football team in Switzerland and mentor MBA applicants at HackNation Venture Labs. When I’m doing neither, I’m usually a few chapters into a murder mystery. I’m also co-writing a research paper with an INSEAD professor on how Chelsea FC’s accounts keep the club within Financial Fair Play rules. Even my football comes with a spreadsheet.
