My entire career has been spent mentoring hundreds of startups, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who have raised over $100M. I serve in all kinds of roles to these founders: investor, advisor, board member, setting up offices, driving them cross-country, and hosting them on my couch.

In my role as Director of the iVenture Accelerator, we fund, resource, and coach purpose-driven entrepreneurs who create amazing ventures solving unique problems:

• Bionic arms that can sense touch

• Inspiring young girls in STEM

• Combining health insurance with preventative healthcare to keep employees healthy

• Waterproof, breathable casts

• Bringing WiFi anywhere with self-powered mesh nodes

• IoT-enabled sensors that sit inside grain bins and monitor environmental factors

• Solar power that works in shade

• Firefighter condition & location tracking

• Learning the violin on an app

• Better paraphrasing

• Probiotics that boost crop yields

• Guaranteeing that sidewalks are ADA-compliant

• Educating underrepresented girls in rural India

• Robotic coffee shops

• Universally compatible drop-in materials for solid-state batteries

• Gamified STEM education for ASL communities

• Precision agriculture via drones, crop calendars, & soil testing

• Bacterial waste alternatives to wood

A significant part of our work focuses on supporting nonprofits and social impact work. Please consider donating to this one (supporting the education of girls from underprivileged communities in India):

By contributing $85 you will be able to support an in-person school education program for 1 girl per year

Transhumanism is something I believe in—every day we creep closer to radically changing the human condition for the better. Healthier humans are more productive and happier humans. Health and wellness is a major key in unlocking our potential as a species.

The future of health & wellness is the most interesting advisory area for me:

• Aging

• Alternative meat (such as insect protein)

• Applications of artificial intelligence

• Athleisure & smart clothing

• Basic healthcare in developing nations

• Cannabis

• Climate change’s effects on health

• Content creation

• Corporate wellness

• Fitness for specific populations (e.g. astronauts, military, seniors)

• Fitness equipment

• Gamification of wellness

• Genetics

• Home health

• Human enhancement

• Meal prep and superfoods

• Mental health

• National parks & outdoor adventuring

• Novel therapies for recovery, longevity, & well-being

• Pain relief

If you think we can jam, drop a line. I design programs to facilitate access for and educate diverse changemakers, social innovators, and entrepreneurial leaders who are purpose-driven to create social, technological, and economic value. We are one of the most generous educational programs of our kind with a vision to remove as many barriers as possible for changemakers to direct their full attention to solving existential problems.

My work provides progressive & highly collaborative campus & community leadership to support an inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem that ignites transformational learning, economic development, and social impact by prioritizing the development of the entrepreneur before the venture.

As a founder, educator, and investor, I’m leading changemakers through hands-on purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
