The current thing

Co-founder / CEO at Taxwire.com. We solve global sales tax compliance for fast-growing companies like Italic, Pulley, Tilit, Ordo, and many more.

We’re well funded by respected investors, have hired an experienced team with years of subject-matter-expertise, and are heads down building + onboarding customers. More to come.

Occasional things

• Sometimes angel invest in other startups via Loft Capital with my friend Hunter. Mostly in people we’ve known a long time and ideas we believe in.

• Sometimes write about life and work. Mostly things that I’m learning in real time or as a way of processing/recording my own thoughts and experiences.

Previous things

• Head of Growth at Capital (fka Party Round, recently acquired by Rho)
• Early team at On Deck
• Invested in & incubated deep tech startups at a niche VC fund called Ikove Capital.
• Co-founded a low-speed EV company called Olympus when I was 20. Raised $1M+. Made a lot of mistakes + our original thesis was wrong. Pivoted around. My co-founders sold the company to PE in 2020. Wasn’t really a success but proud that we didn’t lose investor’s money.

Other things

• Interviewed interesting people about money and investing
• Started New York Tech Week as a growth stunt while at Capital
• Occasionally organize small group dinners of other founders and builders in NYC (ping me if you want to be invited)
• Interested in history, sci-fi, demographics, culture, religion, financial services, global macro, memes
• Other things I love — reading, running, lifting, traveling, music, coffee, poker
