I cut my teeth at Insight Venture Partners. Over a four year period I helped source and/or close investments in excess of $500M in eight companies including PicsArt, Firemon, Thycotic, EquipmentShare and BlaBlaCar. Opportunities I originated for Insight that our partners either subsequently passed on, or did not win include: AirBnb (C), Casper (A), CrowdRise (A), Cyanogen (B), Datadog (C), Distil Networks (A), Dollar Shave Club (C), HackerOne (B), HourlyNerd (B), Gitlab (A), Pill Pack (A), Reverb (A), RobinHood (A), Securonix (A), TalkDesk (B) and Transferwise (C) *brackets indicate funding round*
Now I'm working for myself and intend to bring the same quality of opportunities to investors on Angelist. I will invest seed through late stage as long as I a) believe the opportunity represents a base case of 5x and b) I can add value.
Companies I have personally invested in, include: Transferwise, eShares, The Flex Company, Caer, Legalist, Talk-To, Nightingale Security and Ript Labs.
Funds who co-invested in the same round as me (only counting my personal investments) or followed on later include: Founders Fund, Social Capital, Slow Ventures, A16Z, Shasta and Valar Venutres, among others.
