I am currently a cofounder at Kinto.

Previously founded Babylon.finance, a DeFi protocol that reached more than $50M in AUM. Long ago, I worked at Y Combinator, building products and helping founders. Before that, I built apps and games for Moz, Google and Zynga. In a previous life, founded Netgamix, a user generated trivia platform that reached more than 100K MAU.

After turning 30, I wrote a book to summarize all the insights learned on the way called Grip. I also coach & mentor startup founders. If you are interested, please email me at  [email protected].

Core Values

• It's all about people.
• Remember yourself. There's only here and now. Attention is all we have. Use it wisely.
• We overestimate risk. When in doubt, choose the path that leads to the best story. No regrets.
• Life is a game of opposites. Black and White, sound and silence. Let go of the ilusion that you can control life. Treat life as a dance, as play.
• The fewer things you identify with, the happier you will be. Question your conditioning. Free yourself.
• Don't take anything personally. When someone wrongs you, they just can't help it...
