I'm a General Partner at Eleven Wall Ventures, where I back technical founders solving real problems in industries that need transformation. I focus on businesses outside traditional tech hubs—places where deep domain expertise and execution matter more than proximity to Sand Hill Road. Before Eleven Wall, I was a Partner at Latimer Ventures leading fundraising and deal sourcing, and before that, a Principal at Cultivation Capital making early-stage investments. I've learned that what separates founders who break through from those who struggle often comes down to storytelling, timing, and finding the right investor fit—not just the quality of the idea. I also serve as an independent board member at Circle Engage, working with the team on strategy and growth as they scale. Here's what I believe: venture capital should work differently. It should be more inclusive, more accessible, and more collaborative. Too many brilliant founders struggle to raise capital because they don't fit a narrow mold or because they're building outside the "hot" categories. That needs to change. My approach is rooted in abundance. When one founder wins, it creates momentum for everyone—more pattern recognition, more credibility for the ecosystem, more opportunities for the next generation. I'm not here to compete for credit. I'm here to help you succeed. My mantra is simple: let's all win. When we talk, you'll walk away with direct, actionable feedback—not generic advice. I'll give you clear direction on where you are in your fundraising journey and specific next steps tailored to your situation. You'll have an honest assessment of your pitch, positioning, and timing, plus a tactical roadmap with investor targets, conversation sequencing, and what to fix first. I make introductions where I see genuine alignment, and our relationship continues beyond this call—reach out when questions come up. I respond quickly. I make intros generously. And I believe your success—whether I'm involved or not—makes the entire ecosystem stronger. This call is valuable if you're navigating seed, Series A, or Series B fundraising, building in a complex industry, operating outside traditional tech hubs, looking for honest perspective on your fundraising readiness, or wanting to work with someone who's invested in your long-term success—not just a transaction.
