I love founders building at the intersection of deep tech and consumer... my guiding phrase is "you should need a PhD to build it, not to use it." Standout areas for me are consumer health (everything from apps to consumer medical devices), future of work (prosumer, productivity tools, freelance/gig economy), all the way through to startups that have large operational challenges, like last mile delivery companies. All that to say: I'm a generalist, and I invest in the areas I know best.Eli Kia's Experience
