About

I'm Allison. Born in Prague, based in London. I've been building things since I was a teenager. Hardware, code, companies, communities. The medium changes but the instinct doesn't: find something broken, build the fix, ship it.

Right now I'm building DefRM, a CRM built for defence procurement, helping contractors win contracts instead of drowning in spreadsheets. Before that I was CCO at Marble Aerospace, where I built a £360M commercial pipeline. Before that, Fair, an ethical investing platform I founded, scaled to 40 people, and eventually shut down. Somewhere in there, 42 podcast episodes.

Physics degree from Cardiff (took a year out to build Fair). EF W23 in London, On Deck Catalyst, Gen Z Mafia. I learn more from the people I surround myself with than from any institution.

I don't pick one domain and stay, I go where the hard problems are. Defence procurement is broken. Startup access to defence contracts is broken. So that's where I am now. The through-line is always the same: something is broken, solution doesn't exist yet, so I build it.

If you want the longer version, the timeline has everything, including the stuff that didn't work. It's more honest than any bio.
