Investing

I've been an active angel investor since 2011. These are the companies I've backed — names, not numbers.

Over 125 investments since 2011 — across 86 companies and 8 funds, spanning drones, aerospace, biotech, robotics, and fintech. Many were made as a passive angel through third-party syndicates. A handful were made through investment vehicles I built and ran myself — drone.vc, neuron.vc, and mexican.vc — and in a couple I serve on the board. Those are grouped below.

Companies I backed across multiple rounds appear once. No dollar amounts, no outcomes — just the names. Logos belong to their respective owners.

Board & Advisory

Companies where I hold a fiduciary board seat, and companies and funds I advise or scout for. Advisory and scout relationships are roles, not investments of my own capital.
