I'm a Managing Director and General Partner at PWV where I invest in early stage technology startups alongside Tom Preston-Werner and David Price.
Previously, I was part of the 🌲 RedwoodJS Core Team and consulted at ⚡️Supabase.
Before then I was part of a few 🏟 sports, 🔋 energy-related and 🤔 consulting startups that saw a few exits.
I enjoy ☕️ and collecting 🖍 street art, 🧷 punk/new wave/rock poster art and ephemera (mainly Madchester, The Haçienda, and Factory Records), vintage 🥁 🤖 drum machines & 🎹 synths.
