Etienne Segal

Originally from Latvia, I grew up in Spain and led ventures in a variety of fields and countries, from food distribution and real estate development in the UK, to investment scouting across Africa.

Currently, I research private markets at Contrary and Autopilot Ventures, help startups with GTM and fundraising, and bring new product ideas to life.
