    In my experience, luck doesn’t come to you. You make it happen!

     

    With this mindset, I’ve helped brilliant people solve big problems in new, exciting ways for more than 5 years through my work in the venture capital space.

    It doesn’t matter if I’m negotiating an agreement, steering an acquisition process, or managing an “out there” request—I work tirelessly to make things happen. Beyond my unmatched work ethic, colleagues know me for my ability to spark strong relationships in an instant.

    Pantera Capital

    Partner 

    Apr 2014 – Present

    At Pantera I’m a swiss army knife: I have my hand in a number of activities. On any given day I might work with a company to negotiate a new deal, delegate operational tasks to our team, or solve problems for our portfolio companies.

    I’m passionate about how the blockchain will bring transparency, efficiency, and cost-savings for institutions and corporations.

    My favorite part of my role is learning about new technologies or products that are going to revolutionize how value is transferred among different parties. Some achievements I’m proud of include:

    * Closed 15 venture investments; sourcing most of them, securing $70M in subsequent funding and facilitating 1 acquisition
    * Authoring monthly investor letters and speaking at industry events; I enjoy serving
    as a resource for other venture capitalists
    * Building relationships with incubators, startups, and institutions and discovering unexpected, but valuable opportunities for everyone involved
