I help early-stage founders (pre-seed to Series A) who are building in AI, F&B, or mission-driven sectors and want to accelerate GTM, fundraising, and early growth. I’m an early-stage investor and operator working at the intersection of venture, GTM, and company building. As a co-founding partner at Santa Cruz Ventures, I focus on backing high-growth startups across Santa Cruz and Monterey County with an emphasis on planetary and human health. We’ve made 8 investments to date, including 2 exits and a unicorn. Alongside investing, I serve as VP of Sales at AIO, a Series A company building the world’s first AI-native operations platform for the F&B industry. My perspective comes from being in the trenches — helping companies go from zero to traction, close early customers, and build momentum that compounds. If you’re building an early-stage company and want help with GTM, fundraising, or getting your first real traction, I’d love to connect on Hubble.
