Investing Portfolio
I started angel investing in 2021, with Simetrik as my first real investment. As of 2026 I’m very interested in AI, semiconductors, climate, energy and healthcare.
As an investor, I love to help founders in the trenches, whether it be product management, biz ops, or being someone one can talk with.
These are the companies and funds I invested in.
