After three years at Columbia University, I’ve completed my dual Master of Business Administration and Master of International Affairs, with focus in International Economic Policy.  In line with my belief that in the United States today, technology and innovation provide one of the higher contribution margins toward aggregate output, I’ve decided to become a venture capitalist.  While capital, and labor are vital factors of production, and I do not discount the importance of broader capital markets and education respectively, based on my interests in both development and entrepreneurship, VC is apposite.

In July 2011 I join Mohr Davidow Ventures, a Sand Hill firm founded in 1983.  I join the firm focused primarily on web, mobile, and consumer Internet ventures, but will gain exposure in Digital Health and Clean Tech as well.
