About

I fund and build AI-native marketplace startups, with a focus on proptech/housing and future-of-work. Join us here: https://platformstud.io/ I'm a 15x serial entrepreneur. Co-Founder/CTO @ Wonolo (Sequoia/Bain Capital Ventures). Founding team Symbian (sold to Nokia), Co-Founder Intuwave (sold to Nokia). Briefly an investment banker (hated it). I still code when I have time. Some of my ruminations and observations from over the years: https://vibratingmelon.com/ I'm occasionally an angel investor (separate to Platform). You can share you pitch deck with me here: https://decksend.net/inbox/jb P.S. LinkedIn messaging has become completely unmanageable so don't be offended or surprised if I don't respond here. Email is better.
