scoutsince fall 2026

I scout for a16z speedrun and write angel checks from its scout fund. Right now, I'm looking for SR008.

Mostly it's meeting a lot of founders early and caring about the people first: how fast they move and how much agency they have, then the market and traction. When I back a team, I stay close with investor intros, hiring, go-to-market, and regular check-ins.

scoutsince spring 2026

My first venture role, freshman spring. I find founders at Stanford, around YC, and at poker nights, then make the intro to the fund.

I'm one of two undergraduate scouts there, looking mostly at early-stage software and backing Stanford founders alongside my speedrun checks.

VC3 puts Stanford founders and venture capitalists in the same room for an on-campus pitch event. I sourced the most Bay Area VCs of anyone on the leadership team.
