Note from Permissionless Capital
- I invest in companies working at the intersection of technology and policy, disrupting regulated industries, or working in RegTech or Defense/Security.
- I have extensive knowledge, deep experience, and a large network in this domain from my work as a founder, an adviser, and a professor of law and public policy. I am sophisticated at screening these types of deals and evaluating risks and opportunities -- my background also makes me a value add investor.
- As an entrepreneur, I've worked on product, business development, and policy in heavily regulated industries. I've created and led a multi-million dollar government relations strategy that saw the introduction of two bills in Congress and the creation of new government programs. I've also advised the White House (in D&R admins), and government agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
- I have raised more than $44 million. I co-founded AirMap a multinational aerospace and defense company. With my co-founder I raised a $2.6 million Series Seed round backed by Lux Capital, a $15 million Series A backed by General Catalyst, and a $26 million Series B led by Microsoft Ventures (M12). Other investors included Bullpen Capital, Social Capital, TenOneTen, Haystack, Alpha Edison, The Pritzker Group, Airbus Ventures, Sony Ventures, and Rakuten Ventures among others. I am also an LP in a venture fund and an advisor to investors. Total funding raised $74 million. I am also an LP in a venture fund and an advisor to investors.
- I have served on multiple government rulemaking committees and testified before Congress and state legislatures 8 times.
- Some examples of markets that meet my investment thesis are those in Transportation, Gambling, Legal Tech, Maritime, Aviation, Law Enforcement, Privacy, Alcohol, Marijuana, EdTech, RegTech, Government, Smart Cities, Security, and Defense.
