The most relentless founder you'll ever meet - building the next travel decacorn A journey of unstoppable ambition alongside consistent exceptional performance
Risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and excellence from the beginning
Jumped off a 160m bridge with a rope attached to legs aged 12 despite being underage. Likely a world record for the youngest jump at the time. Then went skydiving aged 16. Not reckless, but calculated: I've always pushed boundaries others won't.
Started repairing and selling game consoles on eBay and built my own website (consolerepairs.net). First taste of entrepreneurship: finding broken things, fixing them, and creating value.
Set a 10-year goal to become an investment banker when I was 14. My ambition showed early - I completed three investment banking internships while still in high school, positioning myself years ahead of my peers. Spoiler: I achieved it and then walked away for something bigger.
Awarded the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship only given to a few high-caliber students nationally. Earned through a rigorous portfolio and academic review, creative problem-solving tests, and in-person interviews.
Excelled academically in school and studied 4 A-levels rather than the usual 3, earning me a place at the London School of Economics (LSE). Studied the hardest degree (BSc Mathematics & Economics) at the LSE and founded a student-run corporate finance blog called Student Merger.
Completed a 42km marathon and a 52km triathlon. Mental and physical toughness aren't optional for founders, they're foundational.
Thrived in my role as an M&A banker at Morgan Stanley but it didn't fullfil my entrepreneurial ambitions. I walked away from £300K to build something bigger.
Despite being ranked top amongst my peers in my investment banking role, I wanted more of a challenge. Hustled my way into a non-entry level M&A role at Morgan Stanley with zero experience by teaching myself financial modelling and placing in the top 10% of a CFA exam. Worked 100-hour weeks and loved every second.
Barely slept. Did nothing but work. Sacrificed everything for excellence. Unlike everyone else, I didn't burn out - I stayed healthy with a strict running schedule. Then decided: let's do this again, but for my own startup.
Quit my £150K job to pursue my entrepreneurial ambitions. Turned down a £300K job. Started with 2 years of runway, no concrete idea, and zero coding experience. Mission: build a tech decacorn. Most would call this insane. I call it inevitable.
Built 30+ projects from scratch as a self-taught developer. No bootcamp. No CS degree. Just relentless learning, building, and shipping. Check my GitHub for proof.
Founded and built LostPetFlyers.com. Went from idea to $900 revenue in 11 days. Speed of execution matters. Especially when you're self-funded.
Won $5,000 at my first-ever hackathon (Google). Built an agentic AI booking platform for accessible hotels. From zero hackathon experience to a finalist - in one weekend.
Selected by Tom Blomfield (YC Partner, Founder of Monzo) from thousands of applications for an in-person office hour at Sequoia's offices. Chosen based on academic profile (LSE Maths & Economics) and real traction.
