my work
current investing
most of my time is spent building kewl ventures, a consumer fund backed by the gross labs family office. shaun neff and nick gross founded kewl ventures to invest in the next generation of consumer defining brands, and brought me on to run the fund. we write $100k to $1m checks at pre-seed and seed, going up to $5m for later stages. to learn more about our work at kewl, you can reach me here.
before kewl ventures, i built fortify ventures, a fund to fuel the future of human health and performance. fortify invests early in next-generation human performance products that fortify how people feel, function, and perform. i remain a venture partner at fortify ventures, supporting our founders and LPs.
i'll occasionally write angel checks into early-stage companies through coral tree canyon. my checks are small, but i love to use my personal investments as a way to get operationally involved with promising companies outside kewl's scope. my goal is to help these founders turn their visions into ventures with hands-on operational support and high-level guidance.
here are a handful of the investments i've made over the years:
company | fund | year |
|---|---|---|
fort | fortify ventures | 2026 |
nestwell | fortify ventures | 2026 |
boardy | coral tree canyon | 2025 |
backflip cereal | kewl ventures | 2026 |
rorra | coral tree canyon | 2025 |
samphire neuroscience | fortify ventures | 2025 |
