Achievements
I'm a Founder with 4 years of experience in Product Management. My unconventional path to startup life started with building a platform for SMBs while still in college. Since then, I've learned what it takes to make a business function: I've been the engineer, the ops guru, and the ever-patient support line. This hands-on, data-driven approach makes me a versatile product manager – I understand products, people, and how to create success for our customers.
I have a passion for investing and have made very small bets on founders I believe that are building amazing things. On the side, I help two mid-tier solo GPs scout and invest in awesome founders.
