Founding Engineer & CTO · Feb 2026 - Present
Swelv
Swelv is fund lifecycle infrastructure for private capital, connecting GPs, fund admins, and LPs on a single platform. It treats issuing a capital call and collecting the payment as one operation, automating the flow from notice to settlement, alongside distribution waterfalls, consolidated LP reporting, and fund lifecycle events like subsequent closings and equalization. As Founding Engineer & CTO, I architected and built the entire platform from scratch.

Transfer sentCapital Calls, Notice to Settlement
Swelv treats issuing a capital call and collecting the payment as one operation. Each LP gets a unique payment reference, funds settle over Stripe with SEPA Direct Debit, and incoming payments are matched automatically against the fund's capital ledger. GPs watch Matched, Received, Pending, and Overdue per LP in real time instead of chasing bank statements and reconciling spreadsheets.
Distributions and Waterfalls
A European waterfall engine calculates distributions per LP, to the cent: return of capital, preferred return, GP catch-up, carried interest, and clawback, with a preview before dispatch. One transfer from the GP settles every LP, and each receives an LP-specific notice with ILPA-style component breakdowns.
Fund Lifecycle
First close to final distribution: subsequent closings with equalization interest, capital recalls with re-notice, an MFN and side letter registry, and management fees. Every LP-facing event ships as a dual artifact, a scannable HTML email plus a legal-grade PDF notice that LPs file with their auditors.
AI Reporting and the LP Portal
GPs upload quarterly reports and Claude-powered extraction pulls NAV, IRR, TVPI, DPI, and portfolio positions straight into the dashboard. LPs get one portal across all their funds: consolidated performance, a permanent document library, and capital calls they can respond to in seconds.
Platform and Compliance
Next.js frontend with a NestJS and MongoDB backend built on event-driven financial state machines. Audit-grade event history, GDPR and ISO 27001 aligned controls, strict GP versus LP tenant isolation, and Stripe as the single payment rail. Built EU-first.
