Fund I: Backing the Next
Generation Before Anyone Else
The best founders of the next decade are students right now — not at the obvious schools, not on the obvious paths. They're building in the margins where nobody is looking. I find them first.
The Opportunity
Every major VC firm talks about backing students. Almost none of them actually have the networks, credibility, or patience to source from non-traditional campuses. They wait for Stanford and MIT deal flow to come to them.
I go where they don't. As a student founder myself — having built and sold a company, worked at top startups, and been backed by firms like Afore Capital and Z-Fellows — I have direct access to the founder communities that larger funds structurally cannot reach.
Fund Structure
I'm currently raising Fund I. The fund is not yet fully closed — if you're interested in participating as an LP, now is the time to get involved.

The Thesis
Like the White Wizard who saw what others could not through the Palantír, I believe the most important companies of the next decade will be built by student founders who reject the conventional wisdom of internship-hopping — who take their knowledge from working inside top companies and channel it into building something new.
I focus exclusively on B2B and B2G businesses. No consumer. No social. No marketplaces. I cut through the noise and fund founders building real infrastructure — enterprise software, developer tools, GovTech, defense tech — the things businesses and governments depend on.
My target founders come from non-Ivy League universities — schools with strong engineering programs and hungry students who are growing fast but overlooked by traditional venture. These founders have lower burn expectations, higher hustle, and fewer competing offers pulling them back to the corporate path.
My Edge
- 01
Founder-to-Founder Access
I'm embedded in these communities. Student founders trust me because I am one. I see deals before they hit AngelList or Twitter.
- 02
Scouting + Personal Capital
Every check is conviction-backed. I invest personally alongside the fund and actively scout for deal flow — not passively waiting for inbound.
- 03
Technology Credits as Leverage
I bundle cloud, AI, and dev tool credits into every deal — extending runway and making my small checks punch well above their weight.
- 04
Upstream Deal Flow Pipeline
My best bets get passed directly to larger firms for follow-on — Afore Capital, Soma Capital, Sunflower VC, and your firm as well. I am the first filter in a pipeline that feeds into the broader ecosystem.
Why Now
AI has collapsed the cost of building software to near zero. A student with a laptop can now build what took a 10-person team five years ago. The barrier to starting is gone — but the barrier to finding these founders early hasn't changed. That's my window.
The founders who will define the next era of enterprise and government technology are on campuses right now, deciding between another internship and taking the leap. I make that leap possible.
