CONNECTINg WEB3/AI FOUNDERS WITH the RIGHT CAPITAL.

CONNECTINg WEB3/AI FOUNDERS WITH the RIGHT CAPITAL.

I’m Ivan, an independent venture scout and advisor. I specialize in connecting early-stage founders in Web3 and AI/LLM with capital and strategic partners. My approach combines hands-on fundraising support - from valuation benchmarks and pitch storytelling to tokenomics and due diligence - with direct warm intros to my network of 80+ VCs and angels. With me, you don’t deal with a faceless company — you work directly with an experienced scout who knows how investors think.
