> \[INVESTING\] Partner at Watertower Ventures ($100M+), ex-Google, tech founder, UCLA MBA & Cornell

I’m an early-stage partner and former Big Tech strategist focused on helping pre-seed and seed-stage founders turn ideas into investible businesses. At Watertower Ventures, I lead or participate in early checks ($250K–$1.5M) across SaaS, AI, fintech, vertical software, and e-commerce tech — and I’ve helped founders navigate the hardest early decisions from MVP to first revenue.  

I bring a rare blend of operator experience (cloud strategy & product growth at Google & enterprise tech) and capital experience (due diligence, term structuring, syndicate building). I’ve sourced and supported 50+ startups, and I specialize in helping founders:

FUNDRAISING & PITCHING:
✔️ Prepare winning investor decks & pitch narratives 
✔️ Navigate pre-seed / seed fundraising with confidence
✔️ Building an investor pipeline to close your financing 

COMPANY BUILDING & TECH:
✔️ Building an MVP, ideating, and going from 0 to 1
✔️ Leverage AI and automation to optimize your operations 
✔️ Early go-to-market strategy 
✔️ Structure business metrics and KPIs for growth

CAREER & VC:
✔️ Getting an MBA & career guidance
✔️ Breaking into venture capital

My sessions are practical and outcome-oriented: you’ll leave with a clear plan, not just theory. I’ve worked across enterprise, consumer, and infrastructure tech — and I’m passionate about empowering the next generation of builders.
