For founders building something hard
Early conviction for AI-native and deep tech founders.
I back pre-seed and seed founders building something technically hard, with the ambition to own a category.
$25K-$250K
Typical pre-seed and seed check size
Founder-first
Hands-on support across PMF, GTM, and strategic introductions

Core focus across software, infrastructure, data, and enterprise platforms
Investment Thesis
What I look for.
I look for companies with genuine technical depth, founders who want to own a category, and a clear reason why enterprises will pay.
AI-Native Products
Products architected around intelligence from day one, not retrofitted with features later.
Vertical AI
Domain-specific systems with workflow depth, differentiated data, and practical ROI.
AI Infrastructure
Inference, tooling, orchestration, developer platforms, and the layers that make models usable at scale.
Data as a Product
Platforms that convert fragmented data into proprietary insight, automation, and enterprise value.
Cloud & Security
Intelligent infrastructure, secure systems, and resilient platforms designed for scale and trust.
Agentic Systems
Products and platforms that orchestrate reasoning, actions, and workflows across real enterprise processes.
Founder Support
What founders get beyond capital.
I work with founders on the technical and commercial decisions that determine the company’s early trajectory.
GTM & Product-Market Fit
Sharpening ICP, messaging, pricing, and the signals that show where repeatable fit is starting to emerge.
Technical Leverage
Helping founders build technical advantage that holds, stronger product stickiness, and an architecture that can actually scale.
Introductions that Matter
Making targeted connections across customers, operators, investors, and strategic partners that can materially accelerate the company.
Scale-Up Execution
Supporting executive hiring, enterprise readiness, technical architecture, and the operating decisions that shape the next phase of growth.
Best Fit
Who should reach out now.
This is usually the right fit when you are pre-seed or seed, have a real technical wedge, and want an investor who will engage beyond the check.
- Founders building something technically hard that is genuinely difficult to copy.
- Teams with early customer interest, a sharp technical insight, or product signals pointing toward real enterprise traction.
- Companies where product, GTM, and technical decisions are all happening at once and an extra set of experienced hands matters.
- Founders who want honest operating input, strategic introductions, and active partnership rather than passive capital alone.
