About

Building community at Cursor. Sending the next play newsletter and angel investing. I’ve spent my life hopping between New York, Tel Aviv, and San Francisco. I'm a builder, former founder, and community guy, always in multiple places at one time. I was an early member of the Notion team, where I led community for nearly 5 years. I actively make angel investments and advise a few select startups. 1) Angel investing in early-stage startups. 2) Helping people find what comes next in their journey. 3) Sharing ideas around productivity, marketing, and community building.
