About Ali

I launched my first startup at the age of 17 in ed-tech because I was always more outside of classrooms than inside, and the broken education system ticked me to find a solution.
Since then, I have been building and enabling others to solve the big messy problems of the world for a more human and equitable future.

I am now on a mission to make the world impact-focused, community-driven, inclusive and human-centric: this, I believe, starts with the Future of Work & Learning and how capital is deployed!

Founder -> Venture Builder -> Investor

I build and invest in tech that drives and enables Human-Capital!

Super passionate about Deep-Tech and fueling innovation with investments and first principles.

🧠 My Philosophy

  • Connecting the dots across natural, human, tech, and entrepreneurial ecosystems!
  • Humans are meant to collaborate!
  • We feel fulfilled from problem-solving!

I have designed award-winning education/re-skilling programs, enabling experiential, impact-focused learning that equips leaders, entrepreneurs, and Higher-Ed with 21st-century skills to thrive in a volatile world and build great ventures.

I've worked across five continents, helping entrepreneurs, leaders, and institutions 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 themselves by unlocking their expertise and leveraging it for real impact.

I write and speak about

  • new models of work
  • future of education,
  • Venture Capital 4.0
  • deeptech innovation,
  • the power of diversity
  • impact leadership
  • venture building
  • fundraising
  • building sustainably
  • GenZ moving the needle
