hi, i'm leo, but I also go by dimz... I'm british-israeli and recently graduated university (ucl) in london. my dream is to change the world through empowering 'shapers' - company founders and digital creators who have something extraordinary to share.

my debut in investments happened incidentally in 2015 - i pulled together a family office loan for a play on cryptocurrencies (initially bitcoin, which i liquidated for 32x multiple) and public 'new economy' companies such as nio and shopify (which i liquidated at 13x and 11x respectively). during my time in crypto & trading, i invested into both public coins (like ada and eth) and private projects, such as telegram’s ‘ton’ network - i was one of the few investors managing to secure a 4x+ return on telegram’s $4b+ private market raise in the span of just 9 months.

several internships and years later, leading up to my adulthood, and having realized my personal impact in latter stage funding rounds was limited, i decided to ‘turn the page' - the next big chapter was early-stage vc. since 2018, i made investments into 40+ companies at various stages of their development (from pre-seed to b rounds) and made 11 exits within 3-25x return range. my priority is to advance talented individuals, especially from minority backgrounds.
