I'm a partner at Pear VC, focused on B2B pre-seed and seed startups. I have a soft spot for low-friction, self-serve and inside-sales driven B2B products. I've started 2 startups and sold a company to Dropbox. In my startups I defined the company strategy, ran customer development, told our story, raised capital, grew and managed the team, sold product, and took out the trash. I graduated with an MSEE from Stanford and hold 23 issued patents. I love helping exceptional founders find their first customers, search for product/market fit, tell their stories, and raise capital starting from day 0.
