Projects and Investments 

Looking for a technical Co-Founder for your idea?

My startup investments have involved both solo ventures and collaborations with my partner, Lindsay and others.

 

Over the last 3 years I have made 4 investments totaling $380,000.

Capital is sourced from my personal ledger. I don't lead, and never invest without a technology execution mandate. It's this technical perspective where I feel most comfortable evaluating an investment's potential, and more importantly positively affecting its outcome.
