I driven by working with companies that leverage technology to help individuals, families, and businesses unlock their potential. I believe in the power of market networks. And I think a lot about the future of work and how participation in the economy is evolving.

Not Interested In

I only invest in the seed stage. If you are raising a series A, I regret missing the opportunity to meet you sooner, but us meeting now is probably not the best use of your time as you fundraise. I invest in marketplaces, SaaS, consumer services, IoT, and more - but I never invest in a company that could compete with something in my portfolio.

Partner @softtech-vc. Investing in marketplaces, consumer services, SaaS, mobile, edtech, digital health. Marketing, product & consulting in a former life.
