About

In addition to CXO operator roles at startups and leading tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, I have over a decade of experience as an investor and a portfolio of 40+ early and growth-stage startups. I am actively involved as a Fractional CTO in a few of them (including a Y Combinator super successful Gen AI startup at $10M ARR) and a board member at three fast-growing startups. My first investment is up 30x from the initial entry point of $10M. Maya Valley Ventures leads private placements into the top growth-stage AI companies, enabling individual investors and Family Offices to diversify their portfolios with a reasonable minimum investment. We have recently invested in OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Perplexity, and many more are in the pipeline.
