About

While most dollars in AI go into software, I care about the work software alone can't reach. Factories. Warehouses. Shipyards. Mines. The job sites where things actually get built and broken. Dirty, dusty, and dangerous work.Now some of the best founders I know are rebuilding it with physical AI. I want to find and help them realize that future. That's my whole focus.I'm a General Partner at VSC Ventures, investing at the early stage in industrial automation and physical AI. Our comms firm has helped more than 800 startups get heard over the years, four of them to IPO. We back the best founders and give them an edge with our expertise in brand, media, and storytelling.I host CLIMB, a weekly talk show more than 100 episodes in, about the people doing the work, and I run the Dirty Jobs Summit. It's our invite-only annual gathering in San Francisco for the founders and investors who take AI in the physical world seriously. If that's your world, come find me.Apply to attend:
