Venture capital, community building, and what it takes to build and fund in markets the rest of VC overlooks.

I grew up in South Central LA. I didn't inherit access. I built it. Now I spend my time making sure more people have what I had to figure out on my own.

I've sat in every seat: founder, angel, GP, LP, ecosystem builder. I've invested in 100+ startups. The Startup-Investor Matching Tool I built has driven 10,000+ intros and over $30M raised.

I'm also a first-time author. The book is called What Actually Matters: Startups, Capital, and the Rules Nobody Taught Us. September 15, 2026.
