Summary
solo gp backing early-stage founders, providing hands on support, while building and operating accelerators. generally industry agnostic, but i mostly invest in overlooked, boring problems across deep tech, robotics, semis, and applied ai with small, high-conviction checks. i’ve raised venture, worked at startups from early to growth to exit, and supported 100+ venture-backed teams. founded and operated vermont’s first venture-backed accelerator, opened gener8tor’s first accelerator market in the northeast, and serve as the only solo gp backed by the u.s. treasury’s ssbci program.
