Chapter 01

Building the Foundation

Risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and excellence from the very beginning

Age 12-16

Calculated Risk-Taking

Jumped off a 160m bridge with a rope attached to my legs aged 12 despite being underage. Likely a world record for the youngest bungee jump at the time. Then went skydiving aged 16. Not reckless, but calculated. Have always pushed boundaries others won't.

Age 13

First Business Founded

Started repairing and selling game consoles on eBay and built a website (consolerepair.net). First taste of entrepreneurship: finding broken things, fixing them, and creating value.

Age 14-17

Investment Banking Internships

Set a 7-year goal to become an investment banker aged 14. My ambition showed early. Proactively pursued three investment banking internships while still in high school. Achieved it and then walked away for something bigger.

Age 16-18

Arkwright Engineering Scholarship

Awarded the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship only given to a few high-calibre students nationally through a rigorous portfolio and academic review, creative problem solving tests and in-depth interviews.

Age 18-21

London School of Economics

Excelled academically at school and studied 4 A-levels rather than the usual 3, earning a place at the London School of Economics (LSE). Studied the hardest degree (BSc Mathemetics & Economics) at the LSE and founded a student run coprorate finance blog called Student Merger.

Age 22-23

Physical & Mental Endurance

Completed a 42km marathon and a 52km triathlon. Mental and physical toughness aren't optional for founders, they're foundational.

Chapter 02

The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence

Thrived as an M&A banker at Morgan Stanley, but it didn't fulfill my entrepreneurial ambitions. Walked away from £300K to build something bigger.

Morgan Stanley M&A

Despite being ranked top amongst peers in investment banking, I wanted more. 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.

2 Years of Sacrifice

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.

The Big Leap

Quit my £150K job to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions. Turned down a £300K job. Started with 2 years of runway, no concrete idea, and zero coding experience. Mission: build a tech centicorn. Most would call this insane. I call it inevitable.

Self-Taught Developer

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 a SaaS Startup

Founded and built LostPetFlyers.com. Went from idea to $900 revenue in 11 days. Speed of execution matters. Especially when you're self-funded.

$5K Google Hackathon Win

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.

Hand-Picked by YC Partner

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 and real traction.

Chapter 03
