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.

Full thesis

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

Signature questions

1.What would you do if money were no object?

2.What is your unfair advantage?
