Investments
I always look for great teams with excellent backgrounds who are taking on big challenges, and I have a strong focus on financial technology. I especially like teams with domain expertise and the ability to execute in their target markets. I’m a huge fan of service economy innovation, and I invest globally, looking for the best teams & markets.
My investments span the globe, and nearly all fall into 2 primary categories:
- Financial Technologies
- Enterprise SaaS & infrastructure
I have done a couple of investments in the consumer space where I really thought the teams were special.
