Work Experience 

  • Managing Partner

    2017 - Current

    Beta Boom is an award-winning pre-seed and seed fund investing in pattern-breaking founders, who don't fit the typical Silicon Valley founder profile. We don't care about pedigree, prestige, or connections but do love founders who are obsessive learners, doggedly persistent, and execute at a world-class level. We also love solutions to large-scale problems and focus on digital health, fintech, future of work, enterprise software, and SMB SaaS startups. Post-investment, our portfolio companies work alongside our growth team to help them refine product-market fit and generate traction. We don't need a warm intro!
