Investor. Advisor. EX-Founder.
Who am i.
I’m an ex-founder turned angel investor with over a decade of Silicon Valley tech experience. I now focus on advising and investing in early stage startups. I’m also a small business owner and avid sports fan.
Investment Philosophy.
I’m geo- and industry-agnostic. I believe exceptional entrepreneurs can be found anywhere in the world and from any background. I invest at the pre-seed stage, so I’m comfortable investing before there is any revenue.
My core question is always: why are you the right founder to solve this problem?
how i invest.
My check size ranges from $20k to $50k. I know fundraising is a long and grueling process, so I try not to waste founders’ time and aim to make decisions faster than most (usually within 1 week).
If I’m lucky enough to back your startup, I can provide optional hands-on support and introductions when helpful. If I pass on your opportunity, don’t be discouraged. Investors are wrong more often than not, so prove me wrong.
