Partner at U.S. Venture Partners
Partner at U.S. Venture Partners
Entrepreneur-VC, dad x 3, competitive sailor, invests in US and Israel, passionate about building companies and working with non-assholes
Most Interested In
I am most interested in solving business problems and building big companies in the process. That includes enterprise software and cloud and all the underlying technologies. I am naturally more attracted to companies with a technical breakthrough and love to scale companies.
Not Interested In
I am mostly not interested in anything B2C unless there is a business that benefits from the consumer using the product and paying for it. I am skeptical about cleantech and fintech but can sometimes be convinced if there is a clear business angle.

I have invested in companies in AI-enabled business applications (such as Marketing Technology and HR Technology), Data Platforms, Data Center Infrastructure, Online Video, and Cyber Security.
Not Interested In
I rarely invest in consumer, and have never invested in healthcare start-ups

How to connect with Angel Investors in the Web Security industry?
In the Web Security & Privacy industry, angel investors such as Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, and Naval Ravikant are significant figures. These investors focus on startups offering innovative solutions in cybersecurity, data protection, and online privacy. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, invests in web security startups that address critical cybersecurity challenges. Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir Technologies, looks for companies that provide advanced security and data protection solutions. Naval Ravikant, co-founder of AngelList, seeks out startups with scalable web security technologies and strong market potential. To connect with these investors, attend cybersecurity conferences, data privacy expos, and networking events such as RSA Conference, Black Hat, and PrivacyCon. Utilize platforms like AngelList and LinkedIn to identify and reach out to potential investors. When pitching, emphasize how your web security or privacy solution addresses key challenges, such as protecting against cyber threats, ensuring data privacy, or complying with regulations. Highlight any traction you’ve gained, such as partnerships with tech companies, successful security audits, or positive feedback from clients. Building relationships through initial informal meetings or discussions at industry panels can help establish trust with these investors. Demonstrating the impact of your technology through case studies or security assessments can also add credibility. Personalize your outreach by referencing the investor’s previous investments and explaining how your venture aligns with their interests. Demonstrating a sustainable business model with clear revenue streams, such as subscription fees, licensing, or service contracts, will further strengthen your pitch. Leveraging endorsements or case studies from cybersecurity experts can also enhance your credibility.
