Bio
Recently, I led Genesis as co-founder & CEO and created a crypto wallet with a cult following. Previously, I was a PM at Hyperscience on a zero-to-one AI product that scaled to millions in revenue. In my free time, I run a professional design studio in Brooklyn where I make objects (mostly furniture) and incubate emerging designers.
Capital
I invest in startups raising venture capital and give grants to projects that don't fit the venture model.
