About Arthur

I'm Arthur, and for the past 7 years, I've been helping startups/SMEs/VSEs structure themselves to ensure profitable growth, secure financing, and manage their fundraising or company sales.

I have over 5 years of experience in a leading investment bank before launching my own startup and becoming a strategy consultant for business leaders.

I can support you across all industries, particularly in software and the hospitality and restaurant sector.
