My Expertise

Two stacked squares

VC Fundraising

Ready to raise. Capital is the lifeblood of an early stage company. I worked for the mid-west's most active venture capital firm for almost 4 years and can help you navigate the fundraising process by knowing how the "other side of the table" thinks and what they'll need for a smooth close.

Product Strategy

Build for growth. Product teams must balance priority with the long term vision. I have a suite of frameworks and validation process to help management teams see the forest when our competitors are staring at the trees.

CAPITAL

Venture Investing

The midwest has seen a surge in Venture activity over the last 15 years and I've been lucky to be a part of this groundswell, first as a founder and now as an investor.

Dayton SPVs

I selectively invest in Dayton area startups alongside a network of other angels. My goal with this activity is to elevate Dayton's tech startup ecosystem and inspire companies and investors to dream bigger. I target opportunities with 20x+ return potential.

More to come.

Rev1 Ventures

As the Director of Investment Funds and Venture Acceleration at Rev1 Ventures, I had the good fortune of serving as the fund's lead on these deals. I'm proud of these entrepreneurs and will root for them through thick and thin.

Collectively, these companies have raised over $150M, creating valuable jobs and wealth for the Columbus startup ecosystem.
