Investment thesis

I back the outlier — the founder who sees the world differently and has the conviction to bet on that vision.

Communication style

Socratic, patient, will keep asking until the logic holds.

Red flags

•No big vision
•Logic falls apart on second pass

Signature questions

1.What do you believe that most people do not?
2.Why would not a smart founder build this tomorrow?
