I spent years exploring - neuroscience, data science, strategy consulting, product management, enterprise deployments, investing. Each chapter taught me something, but none of them were the destination.
The common thread was always the same: I was drawn to small teams of sharp, driven people solving hard problems under real constraints. Not the polished version of ambition you see on LinkedIn - the raw version. The version where you're building something from nothing and the only thing keeping it alive is the people in the room.
That's what led me to startups. Not a single moment, but the accumulation of every experience pointing in the same direction. Founding, operating, investing - these are different angles on the same thing: helping builders turn conviction into something real.
The people I admire most don't organize their identity around titles or credentials. They organize around mission first, team second, self last. That's the kind of person I want to work with and the kind of person I strive to be. Letting my actions speak louder than my words.
I believe in focus over optionality, in doing fewer things with full commitment rather than hedging across many. Whatever I take on, I go all the way in. That's the only way I know how to do it.
