About
I've seen three startups up-close as an early software engineer, product manager, and founder who does a lot of random stuff. I helped build a team of over 100 people at Dropcam who re-framed a market, defined a product category, and changed millions of lives and homes by providing safety and security. We joined Google and re-branded as Nest Cam and Nest Aware in 2014. I've mentored and advised 50+ founders. I help them raise funding, learn to lead, and build good products and teams. I've been the funder as an angel investor and venture capitalist. From top-tier investors, I learned how to look at companies and markets for VC-desired outcomes. And what stories a company needs to tell for this type of funding. I'm also working on a few product ideas.
