Operating across three worlds
Venture, product, and culture look unrelated until you notice the throughline is operating.
// about
I operate at the intersection of capital, product, and community — and I like building the thing that didn’t exist yet.
Across a decade I’ve gone zero-to-one more than once: a creative agency and live-event ecosystem, an enterprise healthcare SaaS, and a two-sided founder–investor marketplace. The throughline is operating — owning a goal end-to-end and building the system that gets there.
Today I lead product and ecosystem at LvlUp Ventures / FundBetter, where I’ve built a network of 30+ funds and accelerators, advised founders who’ve raised over $250M, and shipped the AI-driven investor-intelligence layer that makes the matching work.
