Four ventures · Three roles

The ventures

Two I founded, one I invested in, one I consult for. Each note explains the role, the sector, the story, and what to visit if you want to see the work.

Four angles operating thesis: two into one

Founder, operator, investor, consultant. These are not four separate careers; they are one practice viewed from four angles. The through-line across all four is the same operating thesis: two into one. Human strategy into machine acceleration. Traditional search into AI-powered search. Execution into advisory. Services into products.

Both ventures I founded stand on their own. My investor position and consulting engagement are independent commitments to companies I believe in. Every venture below is a separate business with its own team, its own market, and its own site.
