most interested in

I'm most interested in pre-seed and seed companies where there is incredible founder <> product <> market fit. I love working with founders who who have rare insight, conviction and commitment to tackle a problem/opportunity that's specifically important or personal to them.

not interested in

I am not interested in working with companies where I can't convince myself and the founder that I can add unique value.
