I have invested in over 45 companies from a wide array of industries, with a special penchant for technology and consumer packaged goods. Currently I am President of Why & How Ventures, the venture arm of Why & How Management. We have made 4 investments since I came onboard: May We All, High Desert Cactus Vodka, Feel Free, and BeSpoken Spirits. In 2017, Doss Cunningham (C4 Energy), DJ Monteilh (Seed Sumo) and I founded LivWell Ventures, a $60M family-backed venture firm based in Austin, TX focused on better-for-human consumer brands. I led founder relations, deal flow, and syndication. Some investments include: DynamoTexas.com, LemonPerfect.com, WellerYou.com, Yerbae.com, BigSwigWater.com, MyLola.com, Studio.live, AmpleMeal.com, etc. Full LivWell Portfolio can be found here: LivWell.vc/partnersIn 2013, I co-founded Seed Sumo, a Texas-based startup accelerator that invested in and mentored 24 companies over a 3-year period, with an unrealized IRR in the triple digits. Some notable investments include: Goco.io, Supremegolf.com, Wrapify.com, Polco.us, CarForce.io, and Knocki.com (now haptic.co)Prior to Seed Sumo I co-founded and helped architect the app and business model for iCanvass (now Spotio.com), a field sales app used in over 50 countries around the world and recently named into the INC 500 fastest growing businesses. I'm highly engaged with the startup community, serving on the board of Naturally Austin, a mentor at Capital Factory, a venture partner at NextGen VP, and an active LP in Brand Foundry (NYC), Distributed Global (Crypto Fund), Vestigo Ventures (Boston), and Funders Club (SF).
