Investments

I back ambitious founders building the future — AI, software, talent, and ideas…

Early-stage checks, plus operator support that compounds well past the wire transfer.

Thesis

What I look for.

01

Talent compounds faster than capital.

I back founders who treat hiring and culture as primary product surfaces, not HR overhead.

02

Distribution is the moat.

In markets with thin data, the founders who win own a channel, a community, or a regulatory wedge.

03

Built local. Built global.

The interesting opportunities aren't tied to a single market — they're built where talent lives and shipped for the world.
