Let's talk about times where you've come up short at something in your life and what you've learned from those experiences. I have founded startups early on in my career where my perspective on early-stage investing was molded. Sitting on the flip side of the table as a Partner at Type One Ventures I am feeding my entrepreneurial drive by helping founders build their visions. I'm interested in anything that propels humanity forward and makes us more efficient. Searching for Humanity's Longevity Escape Velocity. Space Enthusiast and Futurist. History Buff. Obsessed with improving each new iteration of myself.
