most interested in

I am interested in ideas that build a better future for humanity. I am a sector-agnostic, thesis-driven, and market first investor primarily backing founders building the following: (1) "Machine Learning first" companies that help workers achieve better outcomes (B2B, B2C) (2) Biotech companies indirectly or directly curing disease. (3) Platform companies accelerating innovation. How I help founders: Installing culture, leadership, risk management, grand strategy, people management.

not interested in

Derivative ideas and business models that depend on disrupting the useful functioning of people.
