Co-founder
Business development and go-to-market across agritech and impact. Founded Campo Digitale; BD lead at DeepLeaf.
LinkedInWhy ScaleGate exists.
ScaleGate was created by people who have founded companies and worked inside ventures across markets. We saw the same gap repeatedly. Good founders could find information, but not always the operating support needed to use it.
ScaleGate closes that gap. We work from Europe while staying connected to the markets where the venture began.
The gate works both ways.
We help founders from emerging markets enter Europe. We also support ventures entering emerging markets when local execution matters.
How we work.
Problems create markets
We start with the problem the venture solves, not the pitch it prefers.
Execution beats advice
Recommendations only matter when someone owns the work that follows.
Local knowledge matters
Every market has its own rules, relationships, and rhythms.
Growth should mean something
We measure progress by what changes for the company and its customers.
