About

As a partner at Draper Associates, founding partner of Draper Dragon, and chair of the executive committee for Draper University, I team up with global investors to create tomorrow’s unicorns in deeptech, AI, biotech/healthcare, web3, defense, and more. If that’s you (whether you’re a family office, fund or founder), feel welcome to get in touch. After 20+ years of venture investing across 10 fund vintages at Draper, I've seeded over 15 technology unicorn companies in the software/AI, healthcare/biotech, crypto/fintech, and deep-tech spaces. My investment theses are built on my “ground-up” experience in deep tech, first working in R&D for semiconductor technologies at MIT and then moving into commercial operations at Intel during its generations of chip design dominance. I then moved into investment banking for tech companies (Credit Suisse), then corporate venture (Infineon Technologies and ABB). What made these companies successful, among other things, was the depth and quality of their early-stage backing. I wanted to be a part of this process at the earliest stage, and thus co-founded Draper Dragon with Tim Draper in 2006. Together, we also launched Draper Associates' first out
