I'm also known as stoic.eth. I'm a web3 investor, 2x founder, and educator.
For web3 founders and other rebels building the ownership economy, I provide modest capital but outsize support on recruiting and growth, and an intellectual sparring partner when you need a second opinion.
As Venture Partner at G20 Ventures, I support web3 founders building the ownership economy. I'm an angel investor in Buildspace, Flipside Crypto, Unchained Capital, and Catalog. I'm also an active DAO contributor: as a 2x season lead at Crypto, Culture & Society (CCS), as a Seed Club collaborator, and as a member of Friends With Benefits (FWB).
I previously co-founded two VC-backed tech companies that were acquired. Infochimps, founded in 2010, delivers Big Data systems with unprecedented speed, scale and flexibility to enterprise companies, and was acquired by DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC). Edmit, founded in 2017, helps high school students and their families make smarter college financial decisions, and was acquired by Vemo Education.
As an educator, I taught entrepreneurship at John Cabot University and served as Vice President for New Ventures at Northeastern University. I co-authored a bestselling book on education finance, and report on information disclosure for The Brookings Institution. I was invited to the White House for my work in education by both the Obama and Trump administrations.
I live in Boston with my wife and two kids. When I'm not on Twitter or Discord, I'm probably searching for antiquarian books, playing tennis, or at the poker table.
