I currently work at AngelList as a product and partnerships lead. Before that, I joined Drift as employee #6 at $0 revenue and helped scale the business to 600 people and a $1.2B acquisition in October 2021. During that time, I wore basically every hat including product management, sales, customer success, support, product marketing, sales engineering, growth, and more. I also spent time at HubSpot during their IPO phase and worked on numerous early stage startups. I ran a podcast on growth with 100k downloads… listen to that podcast here.
In total, I have deployed about 60 pre-seed and seed checks. My investing career started in 2013 when I was Managing Partner of the first Boston Dorm Room Fund team. Over the following two years, we deployed $500k in capital in $20k increments to incredible startups. Since the Drift acquisition, I have written 30+ personal checks to incredible startups, mainly in pre-seed and seed rounds. I also run a syndicate on AngelList…if you’re an accredited investor, join my syndicate here with no capital commitment. Learn more about my portfolio here.
I’ve been advising startups between the pre-seed and Series B stage for years on product, growth, go-to-market, and marketing. I make myself available to founders and team members alike, embedding myself in their Slacks for easy access along with recurring or ad-hoc meetings as needed. I get as in the weeds as the team needs me, such as doing design reviews, or as high-level as necessary to strategize on fundraising with founders. I also work with HyperGrowth Partners, which helps scaling teams with growth. Learn more about my advising and read what other founders have said about working with me.
