WORK HISTORY
General Partner @Root Ventures
San Francisco, CA, US
Investing at the Seed stage in “hard tech.” Like the very first Silicon Valley venture firms, we love companies where the primary risk is technical and the founders have technical backgrounds. We invest out of our $150M Fund with a typical initial check size of $1-3M, often leading rounds and taking board seats, but sometimes co-leading or following.Like my other partners at the firm, I love everything hard tech, but I have a particular interest in pure software (new tech in AI and machine learning), deploying computer vision to novel applications, software tools and services (devtools), that enable developers and other makers and creators. My partners all have engineering backgrounds in other areas and invest in areas they know and have built in before. Check out Avidan, Kane, Chrissy, and Emily\'s profiles to read more about them.
