About

I'm currently bootstrapping a project called Answering Machine. I previously invested in startups at Matrix. Mostly that meant doing whatever necessary to help founders reach their next milestone. A long time ago I started my first company in the online learning space. It was ultimately acquired twice and is today owned by a public company.
