Hi there, I’m Elijah — Founder & CEO of Paperade, the first AI-powered product that generates commercial use cases, company ideas, and more from 100M+ academic papers and research studies.

Apart from being an entrepreneur, I'm also a VC investor and startup advisor — actively participating in 8 investments (as of Nov ’22), including: WeGrow’s $2.5M Pre-Series A (B2B SaaS), Hadean’s $35M Series A (Web3), and Contraline’s $10M Series A(Biotech).

My current mission is to connect visionaries with cutting-edge possibilities made available via AI-driven data analysis.

When I'm not working on Paperade, you can find me swimming, traveling, or exploring new domains.

My life motto is simple: work hard, play hard…but always stay humble.

Happy to connect, chat, and explore the possibilities :)

I'm open to

advising companies,

beta testing new products,

brainstorming,

content creation,

freelance roles,

giving resume feedback,

joining company boards,

just chatting,

mentoring,

partnering on side projects,

speaking on podcasts,
