About

I'm the Founder & CEO of Starbridge AI: we've raised $52m to build the bridge between business & government. We believe that the most pressing challenges of our time — economic growth, education, healthcare, public safety, climate and more — can only be solved through bold collaboration between innovative businesses and visionary government. Starbridge bridges the gap: we build AI software that empowers companies to find their ideal government or school partner and sales tools to help grow their business. Before Starbridge, I founded Coursedog, the market leading platform for university operations which had a successful 9-figure majority sale to JMI. I'm also fortunate to be a seed investor in 50+ early-stage AI companies such as Etched AI, Juicebox, Span & Henry AI. Outside of work - I founded the Watermill Cup: which is a three-day adult summer camp in the Hamptons. I live in TriBeCa with my partner Megan and enjoy meditation, baseball, board games and being a goofball :D
