What Upsquare is: AI-first venture builder that co-builds, acquires, and scales tech businesses across SaaS, VoIP, and digital-transformation markets. What I lead: \- Strategy, capital allocation, and venture road-mapping \- A 200-person execution engine covering product, AI engineering, design, and GTM \- Two internal platforms: • House of Starts–venture builder turning early traction into companies • UCS–consulting arm that embeds AI and cloud at enterprise scale Key results to date: \- 12+ profitable ventures co-created (ARR range: $1M–$8M) \- 2 strategic exits (incl. mobile-first video storytelling platform, 2017) \- $10M SaaS acquisition integrated and doubled ARR in 18 months • Portfolio revenue CAGR > 25 % for five consecutive years Current focus: 1\. Partnering with founders who need product + AI muscle to reach Series A/B 2\. Acquiring tech SMEs in Europe & the US for roll-up and platform plays 3\. Co-developing AI transformation programs with mid-market corporates What makes Upsquare different: → We co-invest and build—shared upside, shared risk → AI execution is in-house; speed > slide-ware → Culture of clear systems + long-term alignment Exploring a build, buy, or partner path?
