I’m an early-stage investor at Two Sigma Ventures, where I have the privilege of supporting mission-driven founders in their quest to build the next great software companies.
I started this blog to share some ideas that inspire me, and in doing so, hopefully inspire others. Some of the ideas I’ve been exploring lately relate to:
- technology + social justice
- climate tech
- b2b marketplaces + payments
- open source software
- machine learning/data/cloud-native infrastructure.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. I hope you enjoy my musings.
