Summary
I am a serial entrepreneur and early stage investor. I co-founded Climactic with Raj Kapoor to invest in startups leveraging efficiency and resilience to decarbonize the Enterprise and create a cleaner, more vibrant planet. I also co-founded Freestyle, an early stage general tech VC, where I invested in and/or sourced: Airtable, Patreon, BetterUp, Intercom and Superside. I was a co-founder and president of Spinner, the first multi-channel Internet radio service, acquired by AOL for $320mm in 1999. I was also a co-founder and CEO of Grouper/Crackle - one of the first user-powered Internet video networks, acquired by Sony for $65mm in 2006. In Feb, 2020, I helped start TSG, a State task force to source private company solutions to solve many of the challenges facing the State of California from the COVID-19 crisis.
