most interested in

Healthy Food and Beverage companies, working with health influencers, with an eye for long-term behavior change, rather than the most recent fad.

not interested in

I co-invest with top tier leads in a bunch of categories that I know very little about - so I just listen to other signals. Most of these areas I am not interested in directly - such as pharma, medical devices, social media apps and marketplaces. I'm not interested in ideas - we all have lots of those - but rather entrepreneurs building defensible companies.
