Entrepreneur & investor
I am a technology entrepreneur & investor based in Silicon Valley. I have founded and managed two software companies: Desitouch in London, England and Kixar Technology in Palo Alto, California.
My incredible ride from immigrant founder to venture investor has provided me with unique experiences and insights. These experiences have shaped my approach to investing and my interest in emerging technologies.
As an investor, I am drawn to daring founders who think and act differently. I look for those with not only the big, bold ambitions for their startups but the grit to execute their vision. I am interested in startups consisting of technical talent (coders, makers, doers) who are building consequential companies. I work to find them and get involved early on, even at the idea stage.
My entrepreneurial curiosity paved the way to becoming involved in the cutting edge field of AI before many others in the valley. In 2018, I studied Neural Networks and Deep Learning at Stanford, which led to my involvement in generative AI. In 2019, I founded and ran Genko, a generative AI product pioneering realistic human voices to read articles aloud at scale.
