I invest in consumer health and human performance. I believe the biggest opportunities in health are at the consumer layer, where cutting-edge science meets products people actually want to use. My guiding phrase is 'you should need a PhD to build it, not to use it.' I'm drawn to founders building everything from wearables and diagnostics to supplements, recovery tech, and digital health tools that help people take ownership of how they feel and perform every day.
