about me
My passions are art, philosophy, science, and tech. Lately, I’ve been spending most of my time mentoring people like my past self—those who want to start a company or step into a leadership role. I also help, support, and advise early-stage founders who feel lost or stuck, as well as more advanced founders with hiring, co-founder matching, fundraising, product development, and everything I’ve experienced, so they can avoid wasting time and burnout. I also love backing all-star businesses and founders who have conviction and a growth mindset. I have invested in startups including, Golden, Paragon, Amplemarket, Colabsoftware, Remnote, Keep, Elodin, and more.
Adventure and movement makes me happy. I love cycling, rock climbing, extreme sports, lifting weights, and I am usually open to trying a new activity.
Previously, I co-founded RecurPal, a SaaS platform that tracks duplicate subscriptions, unwanted spending, and usage. I also worked as a senior designer at Apple, SAP, and Imgur, where I played a key role in various projects that increased revenue by 12% to 36% and increase retention + productivity. Carefully crafting designing unique subtle experiences is my passion and I love making products people want and the world needs right now. Over the years, I have launched nearly a dozen other small products across consumer, B2B, Enterprise, and FinTech.
