About
My passion is to find and energize entrepreneurs who are determined to change the world. At Think +, we look for entrepreneurs who are obsessed with solving a big pain point in the market. I have been an investor in/advisor for some of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley, including ApplyBoard, Signifyd, Payjoy, AngelList, Bina Technologies (Acq. by Roache), Open Gov, Tubi (acq. by Fox), and many more. I have 20 years of experience in the investment world, on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, and have published numerous research reports, especially in the areas of consumer-based platforms, advertising, and search. Two of my key reports, The Golden Search Report (2003), and the User Revolution (2007), accurately predicted massive growth in then-nascent industries that were not yet followed by investors.
