Wefunder: Angel investing for everyone

Founder & CEO

Designer, engineer, MBA, holder of Series 65, alumni of Y Combinator and Techstars. Also enjoys rock climbing, bungy jumping, and climbing mountains.

I started Wefunder because I wanted to invest in my friends - to help them dream bigger, be the best versions of themselves, and reach their ambition. Across America, so much raw talent is being wasted. The purpose of my life is to fix that, to help tens of thousands more founders "take their shot".
