Most AI advisors can't build.Most builders don't know capital.I do both.
2x founder. Ex-VC ($300M fund). Ex-J.P. Morgan.
I advise founders on the decisions that shape their companies, and build AI for operating teams.
Work with me
I work in two areas. Founder advisory on the structural decisions that shape early-stage companies for years after they're made. And AI operations for teams that want to automate the manual work eating their day.
I've spent my career on every side of the table: evaluating companies as a J.P. Morgan equity research analyst, investing in 40+ technology companies as a VC, and building two AI startups from zero as a founder and CEO. I bring that combined perspective to every engagement.
In the community
Hundreds of OpenClaw builders packed a venue in SF for the first ClawCon.
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework I helped pioneer. The community grew to hundreds of builders running autonomous AI agents on local hardware and cloud infrastructure. The first ClawCon meetup in San Francisco brought them together in person.
“For weeks, we've been the crazy ones building agents, skills, and buying mac minis and VPS. Tonight felt like validation that we're not crazy... we're early.”
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time. If there's a fit, I'll tell you straight.
Let's talk.
I advise founders on the structural decisions that shape early-stage companies: equity, term sheets, cap tables, fundraising, and the operating choices that compound later. I also do AI implementation work for operating teams.
Also selectively exploring senior leadership roles in AI strategy, operations, and product. Based in San Francisco, available to work with companies anywhere.
