I am one of the founding General Partners at MaC Venture Capital, a seed-stage firm investing in technology startups leveraging shifts in cultural trends.My experience has always been the synthesis of creative and business, of the right and left brain, giving my work a unique perspective and approach. My career has taken me from the complex world of hedge funds to the high-intensity arena of talent representation, and the cutting-edge field of early-stage startups. My areas of expertise/investment include media, entertainment, aerospace, defense, AI and more.Prior to entering the field of venture capital, I was an operator and advisor to a number of Los Angeles based startups. I was a member of the founding team of MACRO Media, a disruptive media company founded by Charles D. King and focused on the multicultural market where he led digital strategy and operations. I have six and a half years experience working both inside and alongside early-stage startups in the media and technology sector. I ran business development and became GM of TopFloor, a venture-backed e-commerce startup formed out of technology studio Science. Additionally, I have consulted with over two dozen startups aiding in business model development, financial modeling and early-stage fundraising strategy. I worked closely with LA-based media and events company BeautyCon on their initial seed round which included investments from Hearst, Raptor Group, CAA, Maker Studios (now with Disney) and Fullscreen (now with AT&T). I entered the LA tech ecosystem in 2012 as a new business consultant for Amplify, one of LA’s top incubators turned early-stage venture capital firms.Prior to working in startups, I spent eight years working in media and entertainment, first as an agent trainee and agent at The William Morris Agency and then as Director of Business Development at Will Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment.
