I am a venture capitalist, entrepreneur and enthusiastic mezcal drinker. After 13 years on Wall Street as a derivatives specialist, I founded my first company, Creditex, which brought electronic trading to the credit derivatives market. Creditex was sold to IntercontinentalExchange in 2008. I also co-founded two other FinTech startups before starting Tribeca Early Stage Partners in 2014. Tribeca ESP is a late seed to Series A investor with 60+ partners who bring deep experience in finance, technology, and science. There are over a dozen FinTech founders in the group, and we use our collective expertise to assist our portfolio companies in every way possible.
