Work Experience
Founding Partner
2018 - Current
Early stage venture fund, backed by 85+ senior engineering leaders investing at pre-seed and seed in infrastructure software (Infrastructure, DevOps, AI, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Security, Observability, Developer Productivity & Enablement). Our investor-market fit in this category is unique: the technology leaders backing us aren't merely investors in the fund, they also form an informal customer advisory board for founders, in particular on the product roadmap and go-to-market fronts, since they represent, in aggregate, the ideal buyer of the services we focus on.
