Perpetually fooled by randomness. Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital.

I’m co-founder and managing partner at Multicoin Capital, a thesis-driven cryptofund focused on driving returns for investors long-term. I’m proud to say that we’re one of the most respected firms in the space, backed by some of the smartest investors in the world. 

I started programming when I was 10 years old. I'm absolutely fascinated by software. It’s been a lifelong passion that’s guided me to what I believe is the dawn of a new asset class.

As managing partner at Multicoin, I spend every waking moment examining market forces and searching for new opportunities. I also enjoy working closely with our portfolio, conducting in-depth research, and designing crypto-native investment strategies. I’ve invested the bulk of my time and money into this firm. I have every intent to be here for the long-haul. 

My uncanny superpower is the ability consume and synthesize massive amounts of complex information, and distill the core concepts such that they can be explained to a 5-year old. I share my thoughts publicly on Multicoin's blog.

Prior to starting Multicoin, I co-founded Pristine, an enterprise software company that enables deskless workers with solutions for smart glasses. During my time as CEO we grew to millions in revenue and raised over $5 million in venture capital before being acquired by Upskill in May, 2017. It was amazing journey and a tremendous learning experience. 

I hold degrees in Finance and Management from NYU Stern. And, if the internet made a degree in crypto, I would hold that too.
