I'm a Principal at Equal Ventures, an early-stage VC firm in NYC. We take a thesis-driven approach to investing in founders transforming enduring industries. On the side I run a newsletter called SandHill.io.
Prior to Equal, I was CEO of a VC-backed vertical SaaS company called Drenchworks.
I started my career in VC full-time at Lightbank, a Chicago-based firm founded by serial founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell. Before Lightbank, I was a PM at a VC-backed startup and interned at General Catalyst.
