Profile introduction
I'm deeply curious about how human behavior manifests at new frontiers of technology, and the entrepreneurs at that intersection. I'm helping build Construct Capital, a new early stage venture capital firm that invests in founders who are transforming foundational industries such as manufacturing, supply chain, logistics/mobility, and food. Most recently, I was on the founding team of The Engine, the venture firm built by MIT to support Tough Tech companies — companies commercializing scientific or engineering breakthroughs.
