I invest from time to time. There are two things I consider, I feel like the first is most important:
- a team I think are really strong
- a product idea that I am really excited about
I do this inbound only, I don’t have time to dig very deep. I make same day decisions.
Investments to date
- Converge (as hedgehog.vc - a hackathon project to make a VC firm that we scrapped after as it was distracting!)
- Resend
- Fella Health
- Infisical
- Deepnote
Areas I am useful in
- Deciding what to build / product strategy
- Finding PMF
- Inbound
- Brand
- Dealing with developers (working with them or getting them to like you online)
- Dealing with enterprise sales
- Creating principles for your business
- I can talk you through fundraising but don’t consider myself an expert
- Putting my face on your deck so you seem more credible!
How I can’t help very much
- Setting up outbound sales
- Paid marketing
- Events
- Intros (I just notice I rarely am able to really make useful ones for whatever reason)
- Hiring
Getting in contact
I don’t have much time to put into investing - shoot me an email and give me a good idea of what you do!
