Quick profile
Investment thesis
Networks of people, networks of machines, networks of trust. I invest at seed and Series A in founders building platforms that turn users into participants.
Communication style
Network-effects thinker. Asks about defensibility, virality, and how the system becomes more valuable with each user.
Red flags
No network effect, no moat story beyond marketing
Marketplace with no plan for liquidity in early markets
Founder can't explain how the product gets more valuable with scale
Signature questions
1.How does this get more valuable as more people use it?
2.What's the smallest behavior loop that drives retention?
3.Tell me about the time you killed your favorite feature.
4.Who is your competitor in 5 years and why aren't they building this today?
