Managing Director at Hack VC
Most Interested In
When we invest, we can help startups to hire engineers. We can do this because we run the world's largest programmer conference with a community of 125,000+.
Not Interested In
We typically co-invest alongside other larger seed fund and VCs since our check doesn't provide enough runway on its own. The best types of startups for us to meet come from referrals from other investors who need quality co-investors in their rounds, or from startups who have a round that needs additional participants to complement their lead investor..

Broadly, I am interested in any business that have great teams working in very large markets. Typically I like to see them when they have a small number of users/customers that love the product (pre-seed/seed) and I prefer to commit to rounds early and help founders put together the rest of the round whether it's pre-seed or Series A.
Not Interested In
I am not interested in areas I don't understand: ad tech, security, biotech. I don't like anything "for millennials." I am not interested in late-stage rounds. I am willing to look at a deck/blurb for just about anything though and am always curious to learn.
