Palo Alto, CA

I'm an investor at Correlation Ventures, the pioneer of predictive analytics in Venture Capital.

Some of my investments include Able (A), Boomtrain (Seed), Dolls Kill (A), Earnest (Seed, A, B), Good Eggs (Seed, A, B), InstaEDU (A, Acquired by Chegg), Lever (B), mNectar (A), mParticle (Seed), Pingpad (Seed), Simppler (Seed), Unitive (A).

I hold the Guinness World Record for the Farthest Open Water Row across the Arctic Ocean. Sponsored by Eddie Bauer and others, my team of 4 rowed over 1000 miles for 41 days nonstop and unsupported through some of the most pristine (and treacherous) Arctic landscapes. Ask me about the 8 day Arctic Hurricane... ouch!

I also serve on the board of the NextGen Partners organization and I’m a Kauffman Fellow of Entrepreneurship and Innovation - both are educational institutions that serve the Venture Capital and Startup community.
