Investing

I began my individual investing career in 2019 as a scout for Lightspeed Venture Partners. They trusted my instincts and gave me a pool of capital to invest at my sole discretion.

My first fund is sitting at 8x DPI (distributed 8+ times the capital originally invested) and on track to reach 13.5x when fully realized.

Since deploying the fund, I have been investing personal capital as an angel.

Advising

I serve as a hands-on advisor to several startups:

• Akash Systems – An AI infrastructure company leveraging diamond-based thermal management.
• Daylight Computer – A new kind of computer, designed for deep focus and wellbeing.
• [Stealth] – A human+machine assistant company.
• [Stealth] – A fintech incubation with Guy Oseary.

What I Look For

I love investing because I love being in dialogue with people who are at the pinnacle of their fields. I am a founder-driven investor and have invested in everything from early stage B2B SaaS to an oil refinery project in The Gambia.

I like to help founders with growth/distribution, product, operational discipline, and fundraising.

I work best with founders that communicate transparently, are often technical or very structured in their thinking, and operate with a high degree of agency.
