International Backpacker

I graduated early from Tufts University and planned an ambitious round-the-world tour that spanned 20 countries and 5 continents. I ate some weird stuff, met a ton of interesting people, took (literally) a gazillion photos, and contracted cholera. whoops.

I also documented the adventure here: philscottearth.blogspot.com

Favorite Places:
Mendoza, Argentina (malbec for miles)
Annapurna Circuit, Nepal (#1 for natural, untouched beauty)
Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo, Japan (sushi tastes better at 5:30AM)

Research Coordinator

As the founder and chief strategy officer of EquityZen, I have over 10 years of experience in creating and scaling a leading pre-IPO investment platform that connects shareholders of private companies with investors seeking access to late-stage growth opportunities. I oversee the strategic direction, partnerships, and operations of the company, which has facilitated over $2 billion in transactions across more than 450 companies.

My core competencies include investments, valuation, and private equity, which I developed through my previous roles as an investment professional at Barclays Capital and Pomelo Capital, where I managed portfolios, executed trades, and analyzed market trends. I graduated from Tufts University with a BS in Quantitative Economics, and I am passionate about democratizing access to alternative assets and empowering shareholders and investors with liquidity and transparency. In addition to my role at EquityZen, I also serve as an advisor to Carry, a sports-fintech startup that is innovating in the field of sports crowdfunding

And I like golf a lot.

I’m thrilled to share that EquityZen has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Morgan Stanley.

I’m incredibly grateful to all the investors, "EquityZenners", customers, and friends that got us here over the last 12+ years.

Though it's fun to celebrate milestones, Atish Davda and I are most excited about scaling in a way we could never have done as a standalone company. Morgan Stanley's Wealth Management business boasts 16,000+ financial advisors and over $7T in AUM; together we will accelerate our mission of bringing "Private Markets to the Public".
