I’ve joined @variant as an investor. I know personally how much of a rollercoaster the founder experience can be and I’m thrilled to be a part of an organization designed to support people through it. A few thoughts on my journey here and what I’m excited about.

My crypto journey started in the trenches of one of the earliest DAOs, where I worked across engineering, product, governance and growth. Operating in the fog of war shaped my perspective and made me more optimistic about crypto’s future and the role I could play in it.

That experience convinced me that DeFi would go modular. So I built Chroma: a modular lending protocol. I designed mechanisms, shipped code, took contracts through audit — and navigated the messy realities of launching in a market driven by token incentives.

I’ve realized the best way for me to use my experiences is to support founders at the earliest stages and @variant is the best place to do this. My relationship with Variant goes back 4 years now. I got to know the team even better during the Variant Founder Fellowship.

We work actively with founders across product, protocol design, go-to-market, regulatory strategy, and everything in between. Founders build companies, not investors, but the right partner can be instrumental in helping founders realize their full potential.

If you’re building on the onchain economy I’d love to chat. My DMs are open.

Some specific ideas and themes I’m looking for: Teams using onchain liquidity and capital formation as a “why now”. New digitally native assets. The broad ramifications of prediction markets. Great applications for every day users to access all of the above.
