Investment thesis

Specific knowledge, leverage, and judgment. I back founders building products that compound over time, who don't outsource their thinking, and who understand that the modern economy rewards ownership and authenticity.

Communication style

Philosophical, slow, frame-driven. Will reframe your pitch into a cleaner abstraction before responding.

Red flags

  • •Founder who only works when monitored
  • •No specific knowledge — playing a generic game
  • •Equity-heavy team with no leverage or distribution
