BIO
Twice-exited founder of Xobni (acq Yahoo) and Sincerely (acq FTD). I've also now invested in over 80 startups including YC successes: Dropbox, Function of Beauty, Snapdocs, Scratchpad, AlphaFlow, Teleport, and more. I've been deeply involved or led 15+ M&A transactions. I've helped many founders sell secondary shares. I'm also deeply passionate about the built human habitat. Specifically the infrastructure to prioritize safe biking & walking over dangerous and polluting automobiles.
