General Partner

2018

Built seed-stage venture fund, Green Cow Venture Capital, from the ground up. The fund's thesis centers around building a resilient portfolio by investing in diverse founding teams leveraging AI & Robotics to solve problems in foundational industries from farming to finance. Green Cow Venture Capital ranks in the top decile for 2018 vintage fund by DPI (.81) with two exits - including John Deere's $250M acquisition of Bear Flag Robotics. I actively manage the remaining seven portfolio companies, including holding a board seat on CloudAdmin.
