Hi there, thanks for visiting. Based in San Francisco, I’m an Angel Investor and Co-founder of Otherwise.
Otherwise is a new type of investment platform – a distributed network of founders, investing in founders. We back founders both early and late-stage. As an organization, we keep a low profile and do our best to keep it that way.
Before Otherwise, I co-created Index Venture’s Seed Fund, and then incubated a new Angel Fund (stealth) while at Index, as it’s General Partner and Co-founder.
I love investing and have a passion for helping founders. My favorite themes are Productivity + HR + Future-of-Work as well as Marketplaces That-Do-Good, but will invest in any theme.
My portfolio companies include,
- Bison Trails (Seed),
- Carrot (Seed),
- Figma (Seed, fmr Board Member),
- Front (Seed),
- Goodeggs (Venture)
- Justworks (Seed, fmr Board Member),
- Notion (Seed),
- Lever (Seed),
- Pachama (Seed),
- Patreon (Venture, Growth),
- Science Exchange (Seed, fmr Board Member),
- Scoop (Seed, fmr Board Member),
- Tandem (Seed),
- Robinhood (Seed, Growth)
- Vanta (Seed),
Before investing, I was at Google and YouTube in product marketing and development roles across the US and Europe. I spent most of my time launching new products.
I have a BA and MS in Philosophy (Colgate, London School of Economics) as well as an MS in Management (Stanford).
Happily married and a father times two, I love food, and the quote, “An idea that is not dangerous is hardly an idea at all” – Oscar Wilde
