Backing early-stage founders.
I invest in early-stage founders who build thoughtfully and are intentional about the problem they're solving. I value founders who are curious and keep their feet firmly on the ground. A common thread across my portfolio is a focus on responsible technology and expanded access. ~70% of the companies I've backed are female-founded; that pattern has emerged naturally from where I've found the strongest conviction. I invest at pre-seed and seed as a solo angel. I support founders where I can, mostly through introductions, feedback, and perspective when helpful.
