most interested in

Broadly, I am interested in any business that have great teams working in very large markets. Typically I like to see them when they have a small number of users/customers that love the product (pre-seed/seed) and I prefer to commit to rounds early and help founders put together the rest of the round whether it's pre-seed or Series A.

not interested in

I am not interested in areas I don't understand: ad tech, security, biotech. I don't like anything "for millennials." I am not interested in late-stage rounds. I am willing to look at a deck/blurb for just about anything though and am always curious to learn.
