Partner & Managing Director

2017 - 2021

Retired in 2021, Food-X was the first and most active early-stage accelerator program focused on modernizing and improving the global food system. Investing in companies from AgTech to Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Food-X focused on supporting entrepreneurs at the earliest stages of their journey through capital investments, a structured 4-month program of mentorship, and access to a wide-ranging network of stakeholders. As the Partner and Director of the program, I was the face of the program. I was responsible for everything from constantly refining our investment thesis, sourcing deals globally, developing a diligence model, curriculum design, developing and engaging the broadest community of founders, investors, mentors, and corporate partners in the food tech industry. Most importantly, though, I did my best to manage an extensive portfolio of companies in a way that allowed me to personally be a resource for the founders who let us join their journey. My tenure at Food-X culminated in the program's most successful investment period during its time as part of the SOSV family. Select investments include The Abbot's Butcher, Bramble, Fieldcraft, Halla.io, Living Food Company, Lula, Milk Moovement, Mori, Rx-Diet, Simply Good Jars, and Uplift Foods.
