I'm currently living in San Francisco New York
Los Angeles Austin Portland Honolulu
Troy and working on something new ;).
I was previously at Pave, an HR software company helping companies
make compensation more transparent. Before Pave, I spent time
improving the mortgage experience at Blend, investing at Contrary
Capital, learning from extremely smart individuals at 8VC, working
on education access at Coursera, and refining glucose monitors at
Biomedtrics.
When I'm not working, you can find me signing up for new product
waitlists, running, playing poker, skiing (in the winter), and
surfing (in the summer).
I am occasionally lucky to be invited to join a founder on their
journey. I generally invest in early stage companies focused on
fintech, education, biotech, and enterprise software. I'm a small
part of the cap table and any success is squarely due to the work
and tenacity of the founders.
Note: these are a mix of personal investments, investments via
SPVs, and investments led/made while working at a fund.
I love to write about topics that interest me such as startups,
software, investing, ethics, heuristics, and history. I'm also
interested in the intersection of software, startups, and
investing and how this intersection can transform antiquated
industries such as finance and education.
