I invest in and build AI-first companies. I'm the Founding Investor of Fervor Capital, an AI-first venture fund across eight verticals and five global hubs. I also run AI First Fund, an SEC-registered interval fund focused on AI-first companies. Aperiam Finance is in stealth — AI-first private banking. I write about AI, deep tech, and economic shifts on Substack. Through RAIESG Foundation and Economics & AI for Earth, I work on responsible AI governance and climate-economics research. Previously, I built Twilixbell, an AI-powered SMB lending platform backed by Harvard Innovation Labs. By day, I lead AI and customer experience strategy at Fortune 500 scale.
