Will Liu
I analyse deals, build AI tools and start companies.
I'm in my second-last year at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane. I'm an analyst at P Star Investments, a family office, where I research technology and AI companies, and at Mexi Consulting, on mid-market M&A and capital raising. I co-founded Arvet, where I run finance and go-to-market while Jet Kozarcic builds the product, and I'm one of four founders at Bloc. I also built the websites for Arvet, Bloc and AnchorCrest. Outside work, I read too much about astrophysics and aerospace.
Advanced Finance and Economics (Honours) at UQ, finishing 2027.
