Investing

I invest in a small number of founders — small checks. Not a portfolio, not a thesis — just people where I see something real happening and I want to be close to it.

I've done Y Combinator, raised from Tier 1 VC firms, been through an exit, made tough calls all along. I know what the hard product calls feel like from the inside — what it's like to stare at the prioritization doc at night wondering if you're making the right call. So when you're deciding whether to raise, what to cut, or who to hire first, I can be useful.

I like founders who have that spark in the eye — the ones who are solving something because they genuinely can't help it. I'm a peer. Not a board observer. And I stay close, as much as I can, all along.
