Occasionally, I like investing and helping founders. As a founder myself, I learned how hard (and "lonely a job") it is to build a company. Only fellow founders and a handful of investors were actually super helpful and meant the world to me and my company.
When I was a Partner at a16z, I invested and worked with:
- Cursor (Series A lead)
- Thinking Machines (Seed lead)
- Black Forest Labs (Seed lead)
- Waveforms AI (Seed lead)
- Deeptune (Series A lead)
- Other unannounced ones.
Independently, I have invested in others:
- Mechanize (Seed lead)
- Runpod (pre-seed, first check)
- SF Compute (Seed)
- Embra AI (Seed, acquired by Notion)
- Stack AI (pre-seed)
- AirGarage (Seed)
- General Proximity (Seed)
- Others in stealth.
