The collective
Builders without borders.
The collective is the company. We convene senior operators, technologists, and
builders across a global network, and pair them with up-and-coming talent through our
university partnerships, so every venture gets exactly the team it needs, at the
moment it needs it.

How the collective compounds
Senior operators, multiplied by the next generation.
Through partnerships with universities, we bring trained, up-and-coming talent into
the collective and pair them directly with our senior builders. Our portfolio
companies get access to sharp, affordable talent (mentored by people who have done
it before), and the next generation gets to build real ventures from day one.

Ashwin Anandani
Partner — Design & Build
Leads design and build across the collective. A founder himself, he brings the instincts of someone who has built, shipped, and exited his own products to every venture we take on. He shapes how each one looks, feels, and works, stands up the first version real users can put their hands on, and pairs product craft with the pragmatism of an operator, turning rough ideas into products with a point of view.
Rachel Mamaradlo
Partner — Marketing & Validation
Leads marketing and validation across the collective. Her background spans large corporates and the luxury, beauty, jewellery, and education sectors, where she built brands and led events that connected the physical with the digital. She brings that omni-channel instinct to every venture, running validation for over 50 startups: finding the earliest signal that an idea is wanted, then building the audience that proves it. She uses AI and automation to scale social and validation efforts, turning markets into evidence fast so every launch has a reason to believe.
