Partner

M13 is a unique consumer focused venture capital firm. As opposed to financiers or investment bankers, our firm consists of former entrepreneurs and operators. Having made many mistakes as a CEO, my hope is to help the founders I work with avoid those pitfalls. We lead seed and Series A rounds. Particular interest in consumer software, subscription, and marketplace models. Always have time to help a fellow founder. Investments I have led include Shef, Doorstead, Passport, ProGuides, Rae, PrizePool, PopShopLive, Baotris, Spartacus, SuperLocal, Fable, Anycart, Trill.
