I'm an active early-stage investor through a combination of direct angel investments and fund commitments. I focus primarily on nature-focused companies and funds, but also back founders in other sectors that I am passionate about.
I am a pathological collaborator and relentless about mobilizing every asset at my disposal—capital, networks, hard-won lessons, above-average baking skills— to support people challenging the status quo and building a better world.

We created Terraton to remove carbon from the atmosphere. A lot of it. Not by waving a magic wand or inventing a new carbon capture technology but by diving into the relatively boring and immensely practical side of climate change. Specifically, by creating software that makes it easy to bring a Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) facility online. And in a few years, thousands of facilities.
Terraton has created the first Carbon-ERP solution designed to scale carbon businesses around the globe. Think of us as a carbon removal business in a box. -
