Rafael has built and scaled 7 start-ups as a Principal at Roivant and as a Co-Founder at Eatearnity and Maison Baum. Roivant is an operator-investor that deploys $3B+ from investors like Softbank Vision Fund, Founders Fund, and Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Before starting Zendog Labs, he led Demand Gen & Channel Partnerships at Roivant’s enterprise SaaS Lokavant, where they took the start-up from 1M to ~5M ARR and 10 to ~50 FTEs in < 2 years.
