Translating scientific ambition into culture, capital and community.
I believe human progress happens at the edges — where an obscure idea, an overlooked founder, or an unconventional bet on frontier science quietly becomes the thing that changes everything. My work is finding those edges and getting capital to them before anyone else sees the shape of what's coming.
Today I build time-bound, thesis-driven funds at the intersection of frontier science and breakthrough innovation at Renaissance Philanthropy — a career spanning academia, venture design and innovation, philanthropy, art and technology, always where capital formation meets human ambition.
Backing the next wave of human progress and frontiers of technology and culture.
