Spring Street Advisors Inc.

I spend anywhere from 20-60% of my week advising VC/YC-backed AI startups, PE funds, family offices, search funds, and small businesses.

I enjoy applying a toolkit developed at BCG & Middle-Market Private Equity to a wide variety of problems facing these business builders and investors. Most of my engagements center around doing all the tedious work necessary to gain conviction in an idea, product, market, or deal.

Nota bene:

I created Spring Street to optimize taxes/investments, and it's not my "life's work" ... more of a spring board to meet interesting people working on challenging problems at the intersection of technology & finance.
