Lessons learned from Building Europe’s first OnDemand fuel station from its COO
Before Shell tap-up and Cafu and others, we built Europe’s first on demand fuel station. We saw the future, we had an amazing team and we were ready to go. I was the COO of pompfuel and we were there from the start.


He is involved and exited SAAS projects and is an angel investor, mentor and advisor. He has a great passion for growing companies.

Read my take on why most VC's have no startup experience - and why the best VC's only hire the best founders

Why do most VC’s not have startup experience. Because Building a startup is so HARD.
If you look anywhere most VC’s do not have startup experience. Why is this the case. Because any true founder will tell you directly. Building a startup is certainly one of the hardest things you can do. The chance of making it is so extremely small. I have worked in finance and been through techstars. I know about both sides.
