Summary
I am actively co-founding and building tech companies with a fundamental AI underpinning. I am also collaborating with multiple companies spanning information technology, climate technology, and life sciences as an executive advisor. I sold my prior company, Thuuz Sports, in November 2020 to Stats Perform, the world's largest sports data provider. Thuuz created mind-blowing services for the sports entertainment industry through its real-time, AI-enabled personalized video curation and delivery platform. Prior to co-founding Thuuz, I was a Managing Director at the venture capital firm DFJ where my partners and I were the principal investors in many multi-billion dollar ventures, including Tesla, SpaceX, Box, Skype, Baidu, and Hotmail. I spearheaded over two dozen investments and realized eighteen exits, including the IPOs of Digital Impact and Fogdog Sports, as well as the acquisition of Direct Hit by Ask, FeedBurner by Google, Seamicro by AMD, TicketsNow by Ticketmaster, and Xfire by Viacom.
