About Me

I’m a repeat startup founder and startup employee with experience in developer tools, machine learning, and data infrastructure. I’ve raised more than $25M in venture capital since 2012, sold a company I cofounded in 2017, and worked as a marketing executive at Twilio and Gitlab.

These days, I’m CEO & Cofounder of Groupthink where we’re using LLMs to create a video conferencing experience for capturing meeting notes so you can automatically generate your company handbook and other documents using the information communicated during live calls.

However, I’m happy to report my identity has expanded beyond my profession life, and I am also:

• A certified professional coach, focused on startup founders and executives (learn more) approaching 1,000 session hours completed
• An investor of my own money across all stages, from publicly held companies to startups and VC funds. In 2023 I celebrated $1 million of my own capital invested into the startup ecosystem!
• A passionate home chef on a 3 year weight-loss journey to drop ~100 lbs (30 to go!)

The early days: if you want to hear me I talk about some of the more formative things that lead to my career building and investing in software businesses you can read that here.
