About Me

Hey! I'm Mike, a serial entrepreneur and startup enthusiast who's been building companies across Asia for the past decade. Currently based in Colombo, I'm working on my latest venture - a fintech startup focused on emerging markets.

I'm passionate about innovation, technology, and connecting with fellow entrepreneurs. There's nothing I love more than brainstorming over coffee, sharing war stories from the startup trenches, and helping other founders navigate the challenges of building something from scratch.
