The Angel investooooooor 👼🏼

Welcome!

If you made it here, you’re probably a talented entrepreneur working on changing the world for the better. You’re also most likely looking for partners to help you along your journey.

This page is meant to give you a better understanding on whether partnering up with yours truly makes any sense at all.

My M.O.

To find passionate yet tempered, skilful yet humble, high energy, empathetic and gritty founders, and back them aggressively (with capital, reputation, sweat etc).

The mere act of helping great people move the world forward is something I actually derive joy from.

Investing is the most straightforward way to align on goals and zero-in on focus.

What I am interested in

Making the Web more open, accessible, fair and ultimately a place with richer optionality.

Ok but what am I *really* interested in?

Infrastructure, Staking, Cross-Chain Interoperability, Data & Data Pipelines, DeFi, Marketplaces

Portfolio

Here’s a list of the projects I’m an active angel in.

A few things about me

I am the founder of Rated, working on “reputation for machines” and exploring the rich data layer that underlies the infrastructure strata of Web3.

I was formerly a Protocol Specialist at Coinbase by day. This article I helped author will give you an insight into what Protocol Specialists do.

I nerd out with data and take the Dune Analytics leaderboard more seriously than I should. I’m currently #5.
