Experience
Cofounder and Managing Partner
Jan 2019 — Present · Washington, DC, US
Built an early-stage venture capital firm to invest in SaaS startups across the region. As first-time venture capital founders with no institutional track records and only a thesis on a PowerPoint, our first $16.5M fund took 18 months to build while we drew no salary and took nearly seven hundred meetings (with no network and COVID shutting down traditional pathways) to convert nearly one hundred investors. The initial fund has invested in 22 companies and continues to advise and mentor founders on fundraising, M&A strategy, sales, marketing, and hiring strategy.\\\\n\\\\nOur syndicate vehicle has invested an additional $12M in 14 companies and later spun out to form Riptide.vc.\\\\n\\\\nWe are currently investing out of our second $11M fund, to which I serve as an advisor.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
