Looking for technology products that abstract difficulty to enable impact

There’s nothing more exciting than solving big problems, and as a venture investor, I love supporting companies with novel approaches to addressing important issues. I’m most passionate about technology that allows people to spend less time on menial tasks and more time on creative and intellectual pursuits that drive impact.

I draw on my experience in investment banking to help portfolio companies with metrics and financials, but doing the job well requires empathy and understanding—stepping back to see the world from the point of view of the founder, then stepping in with the functional insights to get there. It’s inspiring to work collaboratively with groundbreaking teams, and I’m grateful to play a part in helping burgeoning companies change the world.
