I'm an experienced investor, entrepreneur, and executive focused on opportunities in the future of healthcare and sustainability. I am currently investing part-time as a Venture Partner at Chaotic Capital and Expanding Capital (growth stage). I previously Co-Founded Accomplish Health (medical weight management), Benny (freelancer fintech/insuretech) and MESA Ventures (seed/early stage microVC fund).
My seed/early stage portfolio has returned over 3.5x to investors net of fees. I’ve backed two companies at the seed stage that have been valued at $1 billion or more. My 2017 growth portfolio has already returned investor capital with a significant portfolio remaining. My investments include Triple Lift (Exit), Easypost, Tala, Clover Health (Exit), CertifyOS, Sure Insurance, and Juno Medical.
I have advised Fortune 500 companies like GE, Mutual of Omaha, and Reinsurance Group of America. I have been an advisor to private companies like Descartes Labs (geospatial analysis) and Perry Health (remote diabetes care). I have also served as an advisor to private investment funds including Cantos Ventures (frontier technology) and Ark Labs (private credit).
Being a naturally curious individual, I take pleasure in investigating the multifaceted systems that support modern-day life. I especially enjoy delving deeply into traditionally dry domains like healthcare, insurance, and HVAC to discover emerging opportunities. My passion for researching, devising, and executing investment strategies is evident through my work spanning almost fifteen years as a principal investor and consultant. I specialize in seeking out private investment opportunities mainly in healthcare, financial services, insurance, media, and software sectors.
My experience in the healthcare sector encompasses several areas, including digital health, chronic disease care, new business development, and alternative revenue/coverage models. Through this, I have honed my expertise in care/coverage models for chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. I effectively launched & managed an multi-state telehealth clinic, developing a compliant corporate structure and overseeing the staffing of operations & clinical departments.
I have repeatedly built businesses within regulated industries and have cultivated the ability to comprehend opaque sectors and complex systems. I have extensive experience setting up cross-disciplinary teams including clinical, operations, and technology departments and hiring top-tier talent from diverse and elite backgrounds.
