Hi there!

One Founder To Another.
I am Adam, here to
support and empower
founders and entrepreneurs.

Welcome to ofta. One Founder To Another.

I’m a serial entrepreneur. Starting nine personal ventures internationally, externally investing in seven and successfully exiting four.

I’ve bootstrapped and built multi-million dollar businesses, raised capital and advised founders to start and grow businesses.

My reason for starting this venture was to provide high value advice to founders, avoiding you costly mistakes and benefit from the resources I’ve curated over the years.

Great businesses are built on values, trust and experiences, I’m here to support you in the confusing to complex business decisions.

Thank you for reading.
