15+ years at early stage startups

From joining Stack Overflow ($1.8B exit) as employee #44 to being recruited to the Bay Area as the Head of Sales at Tempo Automation ($400M SPAC), my experience spans from Seed to Series E and acquisition to IPO.

I love to think about the future

Interacting directly with scientists, researchers, founders & investors helps me focus on the bleeding edge of technology.

SAFEs & Operator Rounds

The more exposure to founders and investors, the better I can hone in my investment thesis & strategy focused on AI Infrastructure, AI Models & Deep Tech.
