Unlocking what science, technology and the arts can do for the world

Investment Manager

Jaysri is an early-stage investor and operator specialising in startups across UK and DACH. An electronics engineer by background, Jaysri was part of the founding teams at two fintech startups in India, where she helped scale operations, drive revenue growth, and launch products from zero to market. This hands-on operator experience shapes her investment approach, balancing conviction in bold ideas with a focus on strong business fundamentals. At Adeline, Jaysri focuses on sourcing and evaluating early-stage opportunities across the UK and Europe. A true generalist, she is drawn to outlier founders that are ever curious, and have a systems approach to building products that make life and the world better.

VP of Operations and Strategy

Liz started her career publishing Oh Comely magazine, an artbook-style bimonthly that catalysed a new wave of independent women’s media. As a senior content strategist at DNCO and other agencies, she spent the best part of a decade helping places find their edge amid transformation. Now, she is Adeline’s champion of clarity, bringing concision and coherence both operationally and to the fund’s strategy. Out of hours, you’ll find Liz where nature and community intersect, volunteering as chair of the Friends group for her local park, a role that includes organising an annual skatejam and music festival for teens.

Growth & Marketing

Theo is a growth and marketing specialist with experience across multiple startups. He helps teams achieve product–market fit and scale through user research, experimentation and go-to-market execution. He earned a First in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford before beginning his career at BBC Newsnight. He later joined tech startup StoryTerrace as Marketing Director, contributing to rapid growth and a successful appearance on Dragons' Den. Today he consults with companies including MarTech SaaS Leadsie and Adeline Arts & Science. Outside of work, he plays Spanish guitar and enjoys photography. He recently tried pottery and will probably stick to the day job.

Facilities Manager

Andrea is our facilities manager and interior designer, specialising in commercial facilities. She curates the nature-inspired aesthetic of Adeline’s studio and creates a calm and welcoming space for the team, our Founders’ Floor members and everyone who uses the building. She started working for Heal’s and Selfridges, then moved to Westfield and worked her way up to the facilities department. She is passionate about interior design, with a degree in furniture and product design, and more recently completed an interior design course with the Interior Design Institute.

Operations and Communications Assistant

Meerab is the organising force behind Adeline. She keeps the team current and connected, staying abreast of the latest events and research, aligning diaries and bringing people together with an infectious energy. She has previously dedicated her time to research, customer service, and charitable campaigns, such as UP’s Support Well project informing strategies for adults with cerebral palsy. She is adept at document management, client-facing duties, inventory keeping, and Microsoft Office. Out of hours, Meerab likes to spend her time rating restaurants, watching movies, and you’ll rarely see her missing a Formula One race.
