My cases across 3 domains.

Each case is a from-state, the work, and the number. Web3 · AI · capital — the same operator across all three.

I · Web3 & Scaling

Strategy, Launch, Scale.

Case · 01

NDA — Top crypto exchange + P2P

From — point A

Brief: source and validate a white-label NFT marketplace to launch a new business line in Africa.

To — point B

Identified the capital-loss risk early: no ICP, no strategy, fuzzy NFT thesis, underpriced budget. Stopped the launch. Saved $200k+ on product, $1M+ unspent on marketing. Exit with clarity.

No structured sales/BD. Low lead conversion. No one to build it from zero. Weak brand reputation.

To — point B

Built sales + BD from zero. 40+ hot leads in 3 months. Repositioned to Tier-1 trust. Capital redirected to a more profitable line.

PureFi.io — Web3 / blockchain startup

From — point A

Web3 Advisory — founders & projects

From — point A

Multiple early-stage Web3 founders without a clear go-to-market, fundraising structure, or Tier-1 access — burning runway on the wrong motions.

To — point B

$10M+ raised across advisory engagements with Web3 founders and projects. Strategy, capital, and Tier-1 introductions delivered as one mechanism.

II · AI & Automation

Multi-agent systems, AI employees, automations, BPMN.

Case · 01

B2B cybersecurity consultancy

SIS AI — AI for Web3

From — point A

Long, expensive 8+ month dev cycle for 4 products. Bootstrapped — no budget for in-house team before round.

III · Capital management

Building the operating chassis behind the capital.

Case · 01

Proper Asset Management

From — point A

25 years of CIO trading experience — but no operating chassis: no legal model, no fundraising or IR processes.

To — point B

$5M+ AUM raised in the first 1.5 years as Managing Partner. Built legal structure, IR processes, and a fundraising machine off my own network.

United Humanitarian Front (UHF)

From — point A

Large funds were too slow and rigid for the front line. Earmarked-use limits blocked operational aid.

To — point B

$2M+ raised and deployed (incl. donation from Vitalik Buterin and grants from the governments of Poland and Malaysia). Built a rapid capital-deployment system. Several strategic pivots executed under live wartime needs.

Hilman Ventures · investment syndicates

From — point A

Founder wanted his network in one place — a syndicate platform for fast deal-sharing and co-investing. Goal: automation + closed community for investors.

To — point B

Built the marketplace platform and full automation. Throughput expanded; deal processing cut from days to hours. $10M+ in deals flowed through the platform.
