About

I’m currently at Voyager working on special projects.

I’ve spent the last few years turning founders and fund managers into master storytellers, founding General Proxy (fka Godling) to be my vehicle. We’ve helped companies raise from a16z, Lowercarbon, USV, Paradigm, Lux, Kholsa, Lightspeed, and most of the major funds across the ecosystem. I’ve personally coached founders across 50+ raises and $2.5B in capital, and am proud of the team for breaking $4B+ collectively. For that work, I snuck onto the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2025.

For a year, I considered a career in finance and helped found a credit fund called Lafayette Square. I worked with the CEO to raise our first $100M, before he convinced me to join as employee #7. We grew to 90 over the next 10 months and raised $500M+. Ultimately, I realized that high finance wasn’t for me and left.

The years before that was spent as a self-taught designer. I do little design now, and only for that and those I love. Otherwise, you can find my hands in sculpture.

I’ve settled in NY. Though part of my heart is still in Florence with my art and in China with my grandparents.

Some questions I’ve been asking myself

• How do we optimize systems in which we have incomplete knowledge on? (i.e. our body & nutrition)
• Spirituality has been a positive for my life. Does it exist for me as an continuous way of being? Or as one I touch upon intensely in the times when I need it? At what point does one become lost in the sauce?
• The primary directives of all animals are the same: (i) stay alive and (ii) reproduce. At times, the order is inverted. Yet, as nations become wealthier and define ourselves as being more advanced, individuals choose to have less children and hold bleaker outlooks towards raising families. What does that say about how we define “Progress”?
