Founder and Managing Partner

Jan 2022Present · 4 yrs 3 mos · San Francisco, London

  • I founded Recode Ventures to back the new wave of scientific and technological disruption—because this time, the change isn’t incremental. It’s exponential.
  • It’s not just AI. It’s the compound acceleration of compute, biology, and data—stacking like Moore’s Law in parallel. The outcomes are unpredictable. The opportunities are unprecedented.
  • Recode Ventures invests at pre-seed, seed, and Series A. We partner early with founders building companies that will define the future.

Relation

Investor

Jan 2021Present · 5 yrs 3 mos

  • Relation Therapeutics is reimagining drug discovery by integrating human genetics with single-cell biology and machine learning to identify disease mechanisms at unprecedented resolution. Rather than relying on traditional model systems, they use patient-derived cells combined with genetic data to understand exactly which cell types and pathways drive disease, then validate these insights computationally before entering the lab. This genetics-first approach significantly de-risks target selection—genetically validated targets have roughly twice the clinical success rate—while their single-cell platform reveals therapeutic opportunities that would be invisible in bulk tissue analysis.

Advisor/Investor

Jan 2018Present · 8 yrs 3 mos

  • Turbine is reimagining oncology drug discovery by creating computational models that simulate cancer biology at a molecular level. Rather than traditional trial-and-error screening, they build "digital twins" of cancer cells to predict how tumors will respond to different treatments and identify non-obvious drug combinations before entering the lab. This simulation-first approach allows them to discover therapeutic strategies—particularly combination therapies—that would be nearly impossible to find through conventional methods, while dramatically reducing the time and cost of bringing new cancer treatments to patients.
