I focus on helping early and growth-stage founders build enduring companies in core fintech (payments, commerce, banking, identity, fraud, asset management, etc.) and B2B SaaS in adjacent verticals (insurance, real estate, etc.) and horizontals (automation, data, security, privacy, compliance, etc.) Many of the founders I work with are building great companies in geographies beyond the Bay Area.
