I invest early in founders building real-world AI solutions, especially in traditional aka boring industries where the stakes are high and the workflows are broken.

At Arc5 Ventures, we back technical teams with mission in their bones. Before Arc5, I spent over a decade in the private equity ecosystem, leading back-office strategy across fund of funds, data systems, and investor operations. That lens still guides how I evaluate business models and capital efficiency today.

Alongside investing, I advise startup teams, mentor through Hustle Fund’s Angel Squad, and stay hands-on with go-to-market and systems design through ZenBiz Services.

If you’re raising pre-seed or seed and solving a gnarly problem with urgency and clarity, I’d love to hear what you’re building.

Let’s talk.
