Experience
Founder & CEO
Jul 2021 — Present · Austin, TX, US
Laplace Fund I (2021 – 2025)Founded and managed a zero-fee private startup investment vehicle backed by a 21 % GP commitment. Built the entire operating stack—banking rails, KYC/AML, and real-time NAV reporting—then executed a cycle-timed deployment that resulted in a successful exit of 3.0 × MOIC / 39 % IRR.Laplace Capital — Current FocusOperator-led investment platform that acquires majority stakes in distressed cash-flow-negative startups and converts them to cash-flow positive for long term value. We replace the traditional 2 & 20 fee model with meaningful GP co-investment to align entirely with our LPs, then deploy proven playbooks—lean cost resets, real-time KPI governance, and GTM redesign—to restore profitability and accelerate growth. Structured as an evergreen hold-co with scheduled redemption windows and opportunistic buy-backs, Laplace offers founders a swift, dignified exit and provides accredited investors transparent, income-producing exposure to a historically illiquid asset class.
