Fueling Bold Ideas From Day One

I never thought a day at the pool would change the direction of my entire life. One of my closest friends nearly drowned right in front of me. In that moment, everything slowed down—the panic, the fear, the realization of how quickly life can change. Afterward, I couldn't stop thinking: what if there was a way to prevent this? That's when the idea for my first company was born—an AI lifeguard software that could scan pools, detect when someone was drowning, and alert help instantly.

It wasn't about building a business for money; it was about building something that mattered, something that could save lives. But through that process, I discovered something even deeper about myself. I wasn't just passionate about building one company—I was passionate about turning ideas into reality. Helping others. Building solutions. Transforming dreams into fully formed companies.

That realization shaped everything I've done since. Today, I run a venture capital firm that produces multiple companies each year. But at the heart of it, nothing has changed. I'm still that person who believes a single idea can make the world better. And I'll never forget that it all started on a summer day at the pool.
