Making bets on the future — and building parts of it myself

I founded Avalanche, a venture firm backing early-stage technology companies. I’m a board member at Wabash Valley Resources, a carbon-neutral ammonia plant in Indiana backed by the US Department of Energy — through an investment vehicle I created called Midwest Infrastructure Partners.

Before that, I co-founded Delivery Associates, a global public sector advisory firm, and ran a $65M EdTech venture fund at Pearson. I started my career at McKinsey.

I've invested in or worked with companies and governments in over 20 countries, visited 85+, and lived in London, San Francisco, Lagos, Lahore, and a few other places I loved. Now I'm based in Austin, Texas.

I write a weekly newsletter called Declarative Statements and share insights on trends that are Obviously The Future. When I'm not working, I'm slalom skiing, experimenting with letterpress printing, or learning to kitesurf.
