Summary
I'm an experienced entrepreneur and investor who pioneered mobility and climate investment. I started Spring Free EV to make electric vehicles cheaper than gas without any new hardware. Previously, I co-founded and ran Sidecar where we invented modern ridesharing . Prior to Sidecar I incubated Getaround and made a number of successful investments including several IPOs including Linkedin. I co-founded and ran email security and anit-spam company Brightmail ($370M sale), and early web pioneer FreeLoader ($38M sale). I've been active in the non-profit and political worlds as well with organizations like Gigaton Throwdown, Clean Energy for Biden, Cleantech for Obama, and others.
