I bridge the worlds of venture capital and entrepreneurship, bringing both "outside-in" and "inside-out" perspectives. Having worn multiple hats – investor, founder, and board member – I understand the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities in building transformative companies.As a venture capital investor, I focused on digital transformation and AI applications, leading investments in companies revolutionizing traditional industries through technology. My investment thesis centered on identifying startups at the convergence of physical and digital experiences, particularly those leveraging AI and IoT technologies to transform customer experiences and operational efficiency.Most recently, as a co-founder of an AI and IoT company in the human health space, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of customer-led product development, B2B brand building, and navigating shifting market dynamics. This entrepreneurial journey has deepened my appreciation for the foundational elements of company building – from product-market fit to sustainable growth strategies.Throughout my career, I've supported numerous startups through board roles, mentorship, and hands-on assistance with fundraising and growth initiatives. My unique combination of venture capital expertise and founding experience enables me to provide practical, empathetic guidance to entrepreneurs while maintaining a sharp eye for market opportunities and scalable business models.
