The best entrepreneurs are forged through fire and often not part of the "gilded class". Having started from poverty to now a good career in tech, I'm poised to identify these hard-forged entrepreneurs across the spectrum through my experiences.
In terms of the stage of companies I invest in, primarily I invest in Pre-Seed and Seed deals.
Beyond capital, I provide my 15 years of technical and operational experience in not only building my own startups, but also working in bigger tech companies. I help founders avoid common pitfalls while providing benefits/access/resources that not every angel can provide.
I syndicate the companies of founders I've personally vetted and have given us a notable allocation. These companies come from my broad network and can vary from promising first-time to strong repeat founders.
