Paul Zoicas is a venture scout, operator, and strategic advisor with a strong focus on helping fintech and B2B SaaS startups raise capital and scale intelligently. As a Country Partner at the American Tech Association, Paul plays a key role in supporting founders navigating fundraising, partnerships, and cross-border growth.
Paul is a Venture Scout at Flashpoint VC, where he specializes in connecting high-potential B2B SaaS companies with the right investors and strategic guidance. With more than five years of experience in the venture capital ecosystem, he has worked closely with founders to refine pitch decks, sharpen positioning, and navigate complex funding processes with clarity and discipline.
His background as an operator further strengthens his investor perspective. Through his work at Macropay and in his current role leading partnerships and operations at a fintech payments company, Paul brings a practical, execution-first mindset to every engagement. He understands the realities of scaling because he operates inside them, where precision, trust, and delivery are non-negotiable.
In addition to venture scouting, Paul actively supports global M&A transactions, particularly smaller, technology-driven deals. He advises both buyers and sellers throughout the entire lifecycle, from deal sourcing and positioning to negotiation and close.
Paul is also an occasional mentor to founders, offering direct, tactical guidance on fundraising materials, investor introductions, and navigating the venture landscape. His approach is deliberately low-ego and high-impact, tailored to each situation and handled with discretion.
Across all his roles, Paul’s focus remains consistent: helping strong teams access the right capital, make better strategic decisions, and scale without unnecessary noise or friction.
