most interested in

I am particularly interested in Aerospace and defense right now. Drones, space, flight and everything connecting them.

not interested in

I don't invest in purely consumer facing businesses, e-commerce businesses, game studios or ad tech. If your business is not based on a novel technology or an original application of technology to a new space, it probably is not a great fit.
