I love to invest in founder teams in the pre-product-market-fit stage that has some kind of original insight. I am agnostic about the industry, but I have a strong affection for startups that use recently available technology to solve an old problem. Preferably, with a mission that has a positive impact on the world, our children will inherit. In terms of focus, the use of blockchain, computer vision, augmented reality, machine learning intrigues me.
