We invest in people, because their passion is the beginning of great projects.
We are a venture building group. We don't just invest, we step into the project and build it together with people who are passionate about what they do, financially and substantively, from day one.
We have many years of experience in running and growing businesses across many sectors: from medicine and technology, through services and consumer brands, to sport and media. That is why we know what really works, what burns capital with no effect, and what to avoid in a company's early stage.
We take an individual approach to every project, from the first investment, through strategy and go-to-market, to day-to-day management. We combine capital with real operations: we don't write a cheque and disappear, we stay on the team for better or worse.
Restructuring and transforming businesses that need a new direction is also our speciality. We support companies in optimising business models, improving profitability, reorganising structures and building effective growth strategies. We combine financial, strategic and operational competencies, which lets us restore stability to companies and create lasting value.
We act long-term, committing our own capital, experience and network. Our goal is to grow companies, professionalise them and prepare them for the next stages of growth or a successful investment exit.
Areas of activity:
- capital investments
- company acquisitions and buyouts
- business restructuring and transformation
- scaling and growing companies
- value creation and delivering investment exits
We are Praise Group.
I build companies. I don't just fund them, I get involved, roll up my sleeves and build them from the ground up. As CEO of Praise Group I run an investment group that combines capital with real, hands-on support: strategy, marketing, operations and finance. We don't just invest. We become part of the team. We are Venture Builders. We are Praise Group!
My experience spans many industries, so I've seen what works, what burns cash, and what founders most often get wrong in the first 18 months.
What I focus on at Praise Group:
- Funding and scaling business projects
- Building and executing go-to-market strategy
- Growing the startup ecosystem
Outside the office? A former basketball player and a die-hard sports fan. I still think in plays, not just single moves.
If you're building something ambitious, let's talk!
