AI/DeepTech Investor, Formerly investor at a16z, Stanford CS, CMU CS Ph.D., Allen Newell Award Winner
I've spent the last 20 years researching, developing and investing in deep technology. During my 10+ year career in venture I have invested in category defining companies including: Shield AI, Kong, Instabase, Isovalent, Deepmap, StackRox, and many others. These have resulted in five 100M+ exits to industry giants including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Cisco, Splunk and Red Hat. I'm currently investing at WVV Capital.
