Our process is focused on people first: understanding the founding team and digging into their history, skills, character, motivations and passion. We work with brilliant, hard-working and uniquely competitive founders who pursue massive visions backed up by thoughtful and bold action. We selectively back founders whose ideas are unique and timely; ideas that leverage the future shifts in culture, society, markets and technology. We focus on companies that produce a product or service that a consumer or business will pay for even in the earliest days. We also focus on leadership, brand building and community.

As CEO I brought together an amazing team of people with a vision to make work more rewarding. I wanted to create a platform that would let any company bring perks, recognition and better culture to the workplace via our integrated platform. Ultimately I failed - I built a business model with very little margin and sold a solution that was only attractive to a small number of companies in the United States. I shut the company down in Summer of 2012 and returned the remaining capital to our investors. This was probably the lowest point of my professional career.

As an angel investor I invested my personal money into startups in their earliest days. I love finding brilliant, competitive, hard-working founders; investing in them early and helping them in the earliest days of their companies. I completed 101 deals over 7 years and created an early stage portfolio that includes Lyft, Wish, Postmates, Angellist, Zenpayroll, Twitter (Backtype acq), Classpass (Fitmob acq), Styleseat, Plated, Livefyre, Klout, Laurelandwolf, Honk, Mattermark, Quizup and several dozen more.
