Hi, I’m Vlad Kozul. I’m a London-based founder and operator with a track record across venture capital, startups, investment banking, and growth. I’ve led a Techstars-backed SaaS exit as a COO, built revenue engines and scalable operations across Europe, and nurtured a wide VC network. I’m passionate about turning ambitious ideas into repeatable growth by aligning product, GTM, and investor relations to create measurable value. Beyond building businesses, I create content that resonates with founders and investors, generating significant reach and revenue. I’m FCA registered, CISI member, and enjoy mentoring students while staying active through endurance sports and coaching. I’m typically operating between Paris, London, and Boston, and am energized by connecting founders with capital and turning data-driven insights into action.
