Overview

I invest in developer infrastructure at Meridian Growth, usually at pre-seed and seed. Led or co-led 37 investments, 3 of them now at Series B or later. Backed 58 founders at pre-seed and seed. Most at home with developer tools and venture capital. Amateur photographer; mostly street and food.
