Who I am

I am a NYC area angel who loves cheese. 41 investments to date.

Funding Requirements

I invest in companies like this:

- $200-500k revenue growing fast (for software startups)
- Huge market
- Great product
- Great founder

That said, I love meeting great founders early. Then, when the time is right, I place my bet. :)

Value add

I wait for the investor updates.

When there's an "ask," I take it as a personal challenge. Value add usually comes from network (fundraising, finding employees, connecting you with advisors).

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're in my strike zone, I can usually get you a decision within 24 hours of our first meeting.
To try their best! I also appreciate monthly updates if possible.
Yes.
Absolutely. My most successful investment to date, Micro1, was a solo founder.
IPO or bust
