The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be." -Richard FeynmanThe impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. -Marcus AureliusMy passion for venture investing is inspired by my interest in the growth of companies from a seed within one’s mind into transformative enterprises and industry-disrupting technologies. I am a deep tech enthusiast, and believe in its untapped potential to transform markets, institutions, and geographies. I am driven by a passionate goal to merge philosophical thought leadership, actionable investing, and transformative technologies with the ultimate goal of the betterment of a rapidly-evolving and inequitably-distributed world. I believe that philosophically-inspired technological developments, enabled by capital investment, have the potential to shift cultural narratives, reimagine the ways in which we learn, interact, and transform the world around us. The net result is continually improving upon iterations of our way experiencing the world at an exponential rate, a process to which I aim to contribute via investing in diverse founders and geographies. My insatiable curiosity propels my drive to continuously learn, understand, and evolve within all facets of knowledge. I value those whose careers are driven by the imperative of meaningful work and an emphasis on the value of dissident thinkers and synergetic collaboration. I am always enthusiastic to forge meaningful relationships with those desire to understand the world. My inherently analytical mindset, enthusiasm for logic puzzles, impregnable resilience aggregated with an unique lifelong international upbringing has lent me a distinctive perspective. I aim to pursue my rigorous lifelong quest to "to know" objectively to its asymptotic limit by connecting with both similar- and dissimilarly-minded individuals to iteratively develop a holistic evaluation of investing within a global context. I believe that powerful emerging technologies have the power for investing and the potential for transformative social impact on both micro- and macro-scales, thereby empowering marginalised individuals, groups, communities, and societies.
