The future of AI is being built now. I invest in the founders making it happen, before the rest of the world sees what’s possible. As a longtime investor in AI, I back early-stage founders working on transformative applications of AI in real-world domains—before their ideas become obvious to everyone else. I invested in 3 AI Unicorns well before the launch of ChatGPT. My perspectives scaling and selling a startup (Andiamo, acquired by Cisco $1.5bn) and building early ML products at Skype (acquired by MSFT $8.5bn) brings hands-on practical operating experience to my founders beyond just capital. And I leverage the best ideas from top tier venture firms like Khosla Ventures - where I was a Partner for 4 years - to help founders at the very earliest stages, all the way through IPO. I believe AI’s future belongs to those who democratize it, not monopolize it. The best founders I work with think about not just breakthrough technology, but how to build great products for 8BN people globally, not just 80M of the elite. They build insanely useful and usable products that unlock latent demand and transform the way we work and live. I call this AI for the Real World. If this is your vision, too, let’s connect!
