About Me

Hey, I'm Christian (Chris). About to graduate from McGill University to join the investment team at Panache Ventures, investing in pre-seed/seed Canadian-rooted founders.

I've spent the last few years in venture capital - leading investments and portfolio support at Front Row Ventures, building product at AltaML's Venture Studio (founded by Investopedia's creator), investing in Seed to Series B at other funds like White Star Capital and Inovia Capital, and working in biz ops roles at various startup like Optionality AI & Ground AI.

When I'm not obsessing over startups, I'm usually getting submitted in BJJ (somehow still addicted), suffering through another Chelsea FC's season, or running in the city to clear my head. I studied Economics, Computer Science & Entrepreneurship at McGill, which mostly taught me I'd rather build something real than debate theory all day.
