Ventures that improve our lives. Never diminish them.
My focus is on identifying investment opportunities and building strategic partnerships that bring researchers, technologists, founders, and capital together to turn promising ideas into commercially viable businesses with meaningful societal value.
I'm particularly interested in the sociotechnical space, exploring how technology can better serve people, markets, and society.
A little background.
Born in Toronto with ten adventurous years spent in New York and Los Angeles. Father of one, a dream come true. Married to a dynamo and creative force.
I've been an executive in media, entertainment, consumer research, and private investments. Founded a small social tech platform for authors eons ago. Now advising a private family office on investments and strategic partnerships across media, technology, and consumer platforms.
Ideas worth exploring.
Human collective intelligence in an AI world.
That's my primary focus. The most compelling possibilities emerge when individuals are not simply participants in a system, but contributors to it. Their knowledge, creativity, and ingenuity strengthen the network and create outcomes no individual could have produced alone.
It is an interdisciplinary area of exploration that spans psychology, behavioral economics, sociology, AI, engineering, and computer science.
How do we design participation systems that encourage meaningful contribution and cooperation?
How can AI enable, coordinate, and synthesize that participation at scale?
And what incentives allow these systems to produce the best of human collective intelligence?
Always looking to meet good people.
Researchers, founders, investors, creatives, and good folk. If you're working on something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
