I started at Sequoia, where I spent 4 years as the link between 400+ portfolio companies and the investment team. I learned what makes startups work. Spoiler: it's rarely the product.

• Partner, Republic Ventures: Built 700+ relationships across founders and investors. 4 years.

• Founding CBO, AI Startup: Fundraising, partnerships, GTM, co-led product. Raised $6M+.

• Founding COO, Relatus: Raised $4M+. $750K revenue

• Head of Community, GoingVC: Led 750+ member VC community. Alumni now at First Round, Coinbase Ventures, Redpoint, and 40+ top firms.

Outside of work, I lead community for Titanic's End and showrun events for artists like Diplo, John Summit, Dom Dolla, and Fisher. I host investor and founder events across SF and DJ under the alias DND. 15 years. 250K+ guests. 37K+ network.

Happy to support if you want to chat about building community or closing partnerships.
