Founder and CTO of Empromptu.ai

I'm passionate about building bridges between brilliant minds in AI. As founder of AI Tinkerers, we've connecting tens of thousands of active builders with in-person events in 67+ cities worldwide just in the last 3 months. What makes AI Tinkerers special isn't just global scale—it's curation. Every attendee is screened as an active builder. No pitches and zero fluff. When everyone in the room is worth talking to, magic happens. It all runs through a platform I build to empower the community of builders who are setting the pace for the industry. My entrepreneurial background includes scaling Crowd Cow to $50M+ revenue and founding companies acquired by Upwork and Whitepages. As President of Madrona Venture Labs, we created, recruited, fundraised and launched early AI data labelling platform Mighty AI (acquired by Uber self driving unit) and SMS commerce platform ReplyYes (acquired by Nordstrom). As an investor I am an LP in 7+ funds, and an angel and advisor to a great many early-stage AI startups leading the way to an AI-native future.
