Rumen Iliev is a Partner at LAUNCHub Ventures who takes an unusually hands-on approach with portfolio companies, serving roles from strategist to slide-maker when founders are busy closing deals, and has been with the firm since day one after coming from management consulting. He advocates for a specific crisis playbook that focuses on extending startup runway to 12-24 months and rethinking sales for remote channels, while personally experimenting with AI tools like OpenAI for practical work applications rather than just discussing them theoretically.
