I’m a venture capitalist since 2013. Prior to launching and managing Blank Ventures’ $65m Fund I, I helped grow an established venture capital firm in Silicon Valley and was fortunate to partner with founders building companies like Lightspeed Commerce, 1Password, Magical, BenchSci, Vital Biosciences, Poka, Momentum, DarwinAI (acquired by Apple), and many more.

I love to study software markets and how startups are built and spend most of my time jamming with founders on product, product marketing, and company building.

I live in San Francisco. Before that, I lived in Montreal, Shanghai, and Montpellier, where I grew up.

Reach me on X, or email me at my first and last names at gmail dot com.

I also occasionally write on Substack.
