Saurabh Saxena

I build and back ventures at the intersection of capital, AI, and cross-border expansion. From taking scale-ups from $0 to $15M EV, and from $100m EV to a $219m exit, to advising on $20B+ in global transactions with tier 1 PE funds, my career has spanned private equity, deep tech, and operating roles across London, New York, Paris, Mumbai, and now the Gulf.

🚀 Product: Took houzen (AI/CV in real estate) from concept to exit (to industry). Earliest roles were in LSS product development at the "big blue" IBM. 🧠 Strategist: Led M&A at KKR-backed Axel Springer; advised tier1 funds (DFG, Goldman AM, Bain Capital, TPG, PIMCO, etc.) at Advention and Accenture. Built a consulting practice and supported an exit of Warburg Pincus backed WNS. 📊 Investor: Series B+ capital access & structuring via thebridge. 🤖 Builder: building thefisc.AI, an AI-first accounting firm designed for founders in Lon + Dxb.
