Mandeep Singh is an accomplished entrepreneur, investor, and board member with extensive experience across the tech and finance sectors. He co-founded Trouva, a fast-growing online marketplace for curated homeware and lifestyle products from independent stores, which was one of Europe's top 40 fastest-growing companies (FT1000) and the second fastest-growing tech startup in the UK. Singh led Trouva as CEO, raising over $40 million from prominent investors and expanding it across seven European countries. Following its acquisition in 2022, he moved on to broader investment activities.
