Bringing disruptive technology to the masses.

I discovered my passion for building products and tech when I joined CODE University in 2018.

Since then I’ve worked on several projects and initiatives that further led me down the path of entrepreneurship.

My enthusiasm for decentralization and cryptocurrencies was sparked in 2017 and led to my first investments.

Though it wasn’t until an investor suggested adding NFT’s into the mix, that I decided to go all in on Web3.

It drove me down the rabbit-hole and led to the birth of the w3.fund.

Today I’m working with forward-thinking investors and ambitious Web3 startups, helping them shape the new economy.

If you’re passionate about Web3 then I’d love to connect.
