Overview

I invest in fintech at Mapleleaf Capital, usually at pre-seed and seed. Led or co-led 9 investments, 2 of them now at Series B or later. Previously an operator for 5 years before investing. Previously at Uber. Most at home with board work and due diligence. Parent of two, so mostly sleep-deprived.
