Builder by instinct. Investor by conviction. Connector by calling.
I've spent the last decade oscillating between the two sides of the startup table — building startups and investing in founders. I started on Wall Street as a tech investment banker at J.P. Morgan, helping run financial models for $50B+ of debt financings, then moved into venture capital at the Partnership Fund for New York City, where I worked on $100M+ in deals across fintech, insurtech, enterprise, digital health, and life sciences.
I had the founder bug. I co-founded Conduit, a private-markets platform that connected 10K+ founders and investors globally, and subsequently was on the founding team of Goody — which raised $32M+ from Index, NEA, SoftBank, and others. Our team was recently listed on the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing startups.
Outside of building and investing, I'm an acrylic floral painter, Bharatanatyam dancer, and aspiring yogi. I trained on the trapeze as a child, and most recently took up gardening with the family. The creative practice isn't a side quest — it trains the same muscle that makes an investor notice a great founder: pattern recognition, timing, and the willingness to be bold.
People are everything.

Be relentless.
Doing > Dreaming. The future belongs to the doers.
Invest in high-slope potential.
The curious will win long-term.
Balance is a farce.
Prioritization and self-awareness is what matters.
