I'm a partner at Expanding Capital, a growth-stage venture capital fund that invested in Coinbase, Postscript, Cameo, Astra Rockets, mParticle, and EasyPost.

Prior to joining VC, I founded Humin (acquired by Tinder).

Humin was named '​'Top 10 Startups to Watch in 2014"​ by Entrepreneur Magazine and one of "100 Best Inventions of the Year"​ by Pop-Sci. Humin has also been named top productivity app and one of the "100 Greatest Apps of all Time"​ by Business Insider.

Before I started Humin, I co-founded Sole Bicycles.

Most recently, I led Business Development at Snaps, a generative AI company (acquired by Quiq).

I am also a founding member of The Kairos Society.

I've received a variety of accolades including being named as Inc Magazine's "Coolest College Start Up of 2011" and featured in "College Entrepreneur of the Year" in Entrepreneur Magazine. I've also been recognized as a young leader at global gatherings such as the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum & The World Foresight Forum in The Netherlands.

I graduated from The University of Southern California Marshall School of Business, and most recently, graduated from the Executive Program at Singularity University where I studied exponential tech like synthetic biology, AI, Robotics, and cryptocurrency.

I am originally from Miami Beach, Florida, but reside in NYC
