Summary
I rarely check LinkedIn messages. If you'd like to reach out, please email me at leo@humbaventures.com. I'm a co-founder of Susa Ventures (generalist seed fund) and its sister fund, Humba Ventures (deep tech seed fund). I spend most of my time on Humba, where I invest $250k-$1m into companies building in deep tech and in critical sectors (manufacturing, energy, defense, etc). Prior to Susa and Humba, I was the second engineering hire at Linkedin where I helped build the first versions of products like LinkedIn Jobs and LinkedIn Groups. I then worked on payment fraud detection algorithms at Google, and was also an early engineer at Factual, where I built data cleaning, processing, and deduping software.
