About
I back technical founders at the seed stage — mostly developer tools, data infrastructure and fintech. Previously built and sold a payments company. Always happy to talk to founders who have real customers already.

Hi Maya — I'm building Kite Analytics (revenue analytics for fintechs) and your note on infra-first seed rounds really landed. Would you be open to a 15-minute intro next week?
Thanks Alex — sounds interesting. Send me a short deck and I'll take a look before we talk.

The best hiring lesson I learned as a founder: hire for the problem you have in 6 months, not today. We made our first three engineers write a one-page “what I'd fix first” doc in the interview. It changed who we said yes to.

Cold outreach isn't dead — lazy outreach is. Three sentences, one specific detail about them, one clear ask.

Three questions I ask every seed founder: what do your best customers do that others don't? What broke last quarter? Who would be angry if you shut down tomorrow?
