I write and think about data, products, markets, and fundraising. I also make things.

I am currently on sabbatical (Mar 2024). I’ll still be angel investing and advising companies. Please feel free to reach out if you’re working on interesting things. I will reply promptly.

I’m a data scientist turned early stage investor. Professionally, I invest directly in data-first startups (see select companies here). Specifically, I invest in and work with early stage founders who have unique points of views on where data science and machine learning will positively step change the way we work professionally (Retool, Vise, HiOperator, Seldon) and personally (Doorvest, Token Transit, Tendies). In the past few years, I have helped companies raise over $300M in follow-on funding.

Till March 2024, I led the Investments group at Techstars and oversaw the $1B+ AUM portfolio. Previously, I was head of Data Science & Analytics at Mattermark (YC, NEA, Foundry Group backed).
