I
About
13+ years on the other side of the table — consulting, investing, fundraising, and building. Ran a web3 fund. Knows exactly what investors want to hear (and what makes them hit delete). At Causo, Ivan decides what the product does next and which problem is worth solving — the calls on where fundraising tooling should go, what to build, what to cut. His guides on the Hub come from the same lens: strategic patterns across hundreds of raises, sharpened with AI-enabled research so the advice here stays current, not recycled.
