Founded a developer productivity platform that streamlines code review and CI/CD workflows. Raised $4.2M Series A, grew to 25 employees and 800 paying teams.
Built a hyperlocal marketplace connecting neighborhood shops with customers. 1,200 merchants across 3 cities. Acquired by a major delivery company in 2024.
Open-source deployment toolkit that simplifies shipping containerized apps. 5K GitHub stars, 200+ contributors, and adopted by startups like Loom and Linear.
Created a community platform for indie hackers and solopreneurs. Weekly AMAs, accountability groups, and a curated job board. 15K active members.
Founded an AI venture solving the support-knowledge gap teams face as they scale: answers buried across docs, tickets, and chat. Lumen unifies them into a RAG-powered assistant that delivers cited, source-grounded answers. Built on LLMs with a vector-search retrieval layer and human-in-the-loop guardrails. Traction: 120 paying teams and $640K ARR within 9 months, deflecting 40% of inbound support tickets.
As a seed investor, I've backed 50+ companies. Few founders match their combination of technical depth, market instinct, and sheer tenacity.
They built a product our merchants genuinely love. In a crowded market, their focus on user experience was the differentiator that made the acquisition make sense.
Their mentoring changed the trajectory of my company. Practical advice, honest feedback, and introductions that actually led somewhere. A true founder's founder.
Strategic advisory for early-stage startups. Product-market fit validation, fundraising preparation, and scaling strategies from someone who has been through it.
One-on-one mentoring for first-time founders. Navigating fundraising, hiring, product decisions, and the emotional rollercoaster of building a company.
Part-time technical leadership for non-technical founders. Architecture decisions, engineering team building, and technology strategy without the full-time cost.
Let's build something that matters.
