I back intrinsically driven teams early - across AI, software infra, cyber, health, techbio, compute - typically with $25-50k checks while leveraging my investor network, industry ties, and personal brand.

I started Companion M to invest with focus and discipline, principles shaped on and off the pitch

It also helps manage my brand rights and serves as a vehicle for early-stage investments and long-term partnerships.

We invest early and with focus, and always with people we trust.

Every decision is shaped by long-term thinking and a clear sense of signal.

Beyond capital, we bring a connected network of investors, operators, and industry allies — along with personal brand and reach.
