Who I am

I am a Forward Deployed Engineer at Palantir and an angel investor backing founders building companies others will one day use as the reference point.

Funding Requirements

I invest in early-stage software, consumer, outdoor, lifestyle, health, fintech, cybersecurity, data infrastructure, and commerce companies with the product taste, depth, and customer trust to become category-defining brands.

Value add

I help founders pressure-test technical architecture, product clarity, enterprise-readiness, and B2B positioning. While my operational edge is strongest in complex software, I am most interested in companies where product quality, brand trust, and execution create a durable category leader.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am flexible on ownership and usually invest as an angel alongside strong leads, prioritizing conviction and fit over a fixed percentage.
I evaluate founder quality, product taste, market ambition, customer pull, and the company’s potential to become category-defining. For technical or B2B companies, I also look closely at architecture, workflow depth, and enterprise-readiness.
Usually fast. Once I understand the founder, product, market, and round dynamics, I prefer to make a clear decision rather than keep founders in limbo.
Candor, clarity, and thoughtful communication. I do not need heavy reporting, but I value concise updates on what is working, what is hard, and where I can be genuinely useful.
I do not take board seats. I aim to be helpful without adding unnecessary governance overhead.
Selectively. I may follow on when conviction increases, the company is executing well, and I can continue to be helpful.
Yes, selectively. I am open to solo founders when they have exceptional clarity, speed, taste, and the ability to recruit talent and build deep customer trust.
Success means backing a company that becomes the reference point for its category: A product, brand, or platform that earns deep customer trust and sets the standard others are measured against.
