about me:
- i am the co-founder and cto at loom.
- loom is a $350m company for which my co-founders and i have raised over $75m of funding.
- we employ 120 extremely talented people from new zealand to poland.
- loom is used by over 10m people worldwide.
- we are growing economic opportunity in an increasingly remote and distributed world where english is not everyone's first language and cross-timezone collaboration is becoming a bigger problem. simply put, we are building tools that help people communicate more effectively and get ahead.
- i invest in companies and am willing to offer help to founders i vibe with for free and for no allocation.
- i care about animal welfare and the environment, and i believe lab-grown meat is the solution to most of these problems. i invest in lab-grown meat companies, have a background in materials science, and am currently self-studying biochemistry. please reach out if you're working on something novel in this space - i would love to be helpful even if there isn't an investment opportunity.
- i care about the future of san francisco and its issues with mental health, homelessness and drug use.
- i am a bit of a hippy. i regularly take psychedelics, do cold water/sauna therapy, and i meditate as much as i can.
- i am a conscious capitalist.
- adventure and movement makes me happy. i like throwing parties, riding motorcycles, rock climbing, lifting weights, and am usually down to try anything once.
