Startups. Innovation. Data. Insights.

 

I'm an economist, analyst, strategic advisor, and writer, interested in entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and their impact. I spend a lot of my time thinking and writing about startups, and working with founders to support their journey. I use data to help organizations solve complex problems, produce insights, and tell compelling stories. I also like building things. This site is a collection of my thoughts and some of my work. I typically write about the tech industry, entrepreneurship, venture capital, and startup communities.
