About

What do I do now? Here in SF to learn from the Bay Area's AI velocity, embrace new perspectives, and let serendipity guide my next steps. How do I give back? If you're looking to startup and need clarity, I'll try to help you decide what makes sense and, more importantly, what doesn't. My experience tl;dr: Bootstrapped 3 startups (SaaS (acq), Deeptech (72% margins) & B2B (acq)), then Head of Investments at seed VC for 6 yrs.
