I am not married to a sector or a problem. I have the curiosity and desire to learn about almost anything. What I care most about is the people I work with. I love working with founders with a deep purpose, one that goes beyond success, wealth, or even legacy. Founders who deeply and unconditionally care about something bigger. Many of those founders are delusional dreamers, insanely ambitious for no impact is enough for them, and they carry a unique vision for the future.

The possibility of connecting with founders who think long-term and wouldn’t trade durability for anything keeps me excited about what I do. I want to work with companies whose shares could be handed down to posterity as heir-loom. If you wish to build something for the next few decades, I would love to chat.
