Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Walker is an independent investor and AI advisor with 13+ years of experience building and scaling tech businesses, including founding idibu which grew to 500+ enterprise clients and exited in 2021. He runs a private fund that trades systematic options across multiple markets, and he personally designed and built the AI analytics, risk management, and automation pipelines that power those strategies. As an advisor he offers pragmatic, production-first AI guidance—helping founders separate genuine opportunities from hype and turn prototypes into reliable systems. His background spans startups, blockchain experiments in nonprofit transparency and tokenisation, and early internet infrastructure, giving him a rare mix of product, engineering, and operational discipline. Steve is based in Thailand and is selectively open to investing in founders he can both advise and confidently back. An unsaid strength: he chooses to stop projects that misalign with users or funders, prioritising honest assessment over sunk-cost optimism.
