Investing
Where I put capital today, what I look for, and how to pitch me. LP and Venture Partner at Pioneer Fund with an active personal angel book.
Thesis
Four areas where I can add real value beyond the check. I will pass quickly outside these.
Healthcare
Digital health, clinical workflows, and patient outcomes. Especially interested in tools that compress the time between data and decision for clinicians.
Robotics
Automation, perception, and human-robot interaction. The next decade of physical-world software gets unlocked when robotics gets to consumer pricing.
Compliance
Regulatory tech, risk management, and audit automation. Boring on the outside, defensible on the inside, and one of the cleanest fits for AI-native software.
Pain solvers
Products that eliminate a real friction someone is currently paying to live around. Distribution-led consumer also fits here — it’s where SwipeHouse was.
What I look for
✓ Strong yes signals
- Pre-seed and seed stage
- Strong founder–market fit (you’ve lived the problem)
- A real distribution edge, not a “we’ll figure it out” GTM
- AI-native where AI is a wedge, not a sticker
- Founders who write back fast and ship faster
✗ Quick pass
- Pure tech demos without a customer path
- Categories I can’t add value in (deep biotech, hard-tech infra)
- Founders who only want a name on the cap table
Track record & affiliations
For founders
Easiest path: message me on LinkedIn with a one-liner, your deck, and the round you’re running. I read everything and respond personally to founders who match the thesis. I also write checks alongside Pioneer Fund when the fit is right.
For LPs
I’m an LP myself and I’m active across angel and venture. If you’re thinking about future vehicles aligned with this thesis — particularly at the intersection of AI, consumer, and the four areas above — I’d love to stay in touch.
Not a pitch deck on this page. Reach out and I’ll share what’s relevant for your fund-of-funds, family office, or institutional mandate.
