I am a very early stage venture capitalist and a Founder of True Ventures. I have started 3 companies as a Founder, and have been in the venture capital business since 1991. My background is mostly with early stage companies in the internet, media, mobile markets. My personal mission is to empower entrepreneurs because I believe that innovators can change the world. We started True Ventures because we felt as Founders that the traditional venture capital industry had grown too large to best serve the needs of the earliest stage entrepreneurs. At True, we have redesigned venture with the Founder as customer. Everything we do is designed to best help the early stage entrepreneur realize their dreams. We normally invest between $250,000-$2.5mm and are almost always the first investor in a company. Our deals are simple and clean and our funds are large for what we do. This means that although our initial checks are small, we are a powerful financial partner for a growing company, and we plan to invest large dollars with growth and success.I'm passionate about my kids, flying, and essentially anything outdoors. If we're meeting, be careful not to bring up airplanes, because I could spend all day talking about the wonder and beauty of flight, and we might not get much else done :).Specialties: very early stage venture capital, seed stage investing, startup advice, technology innovation, aviation

I'm a VC & angel investor with 120+ deals done.
My fund, Asymmetry Ventures, focuses on seed-stage deals.
I also founded and currently manage an AngelList syndicate of 1600 accredited investors. Our syndicate deploys checks of $100K - $300K into exceptional early-stage ventures.
I love deep tech (e.g. life sci/biotech; med devices & healthcare; AI; hardware & IoT).
And in general, I love startups with strong early traction (ideally revenues - but user and usage traction are great too).
Not Interested In
As a rule, I don't invest in pre-seed companies.
But I'd be thrilled to meet talented founders at the pre-seed stage, and get to know them as they take early steps in building their ventures!
Obsessively hunting down, and investing in, the world's fastest-growing startups. Moonlighting as strategist @capgemini. Served time @harvard-4, @berkeley.
