Bio

I am the Founder at Audacious Ventures, where we lead seed stage investments. Prior to Audacious, I was a partner at Lightspeed. Over the last decade, I've backed several category defining companies and marketplaces such as Marketo, Gainsight, People.ai, 6Sense, BuildingConnected, WorkOS, Multiverse amongst others. I look for ambitious and hungry product founders targeting large markets. I believe hunger and ambition are more important ingredients of success than experience.

About Investments

I invest in SaaS, B2B marketplaces, crypto, dev tools, and B2B fintech.
