San Francisco, California

I help founders turn liquidity into legacy by architecting their New Old Money. I’m Founder & CEO of Smart Family Office and Senior Venture Partner at Toloka.vc, working between London and San Francisco . Most founders over-optimise for the exit and under-prepare for what happens after. They suddenly have capital, but no architecture: no clear map of assets, entities, risk or legacy. I work 1:1 with founders and entrepreneurs who already have meaningful capital (equity, cash, business assets) or are approaching a liquidity event.

Dreams

Create 5–10 New Old Money families among post-exit 🇺🇦 founders — help them turn a liquidity event into a multi-generational legacy: protected wealth, clear governance, and meaningful impact.
Create signature philanthropic vehicles — focused, measurable giving that becomes part of the family identity.

Services

I align your capital with your goals: freedom, security, growth, and legacy.
