Hi, my name is
With 414 investments and 159 successful exits, I provide strategic capital and hands-on guidance to visionary entrepreneurs building category-defining companies in technology.
View My PortfolioKnown in investment circles as "The Agile Angel," I am a Dallas-based angel investor with a focus on early-stage technology companies that are reshaping industries through innovation and exceptional execution.
With a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California (1991) and an MS in Finance from Texas A&M University (1994), I combine deep financial expertise with a founder-first approach to investing.
Throughout my career, I've built a diverse portfolio across business productivity software, fintech, healthcare technology, and other transformative sectors. With 159 successful exits and an active portfolio of 250 companies, I maintain a hands-on approach to helping founders navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses.
My investment strategy centers on identifying passionate founders solving meaningful problems with innovative approaches. I'm committed to providing not just capital, but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and operational support to help my portfolio companies thrive.
My investment decisions are guided by these core principles that have proven successful across hundreds of investments.
I invest in founders with deep domain expertise, clear vision, and relentless drive. The founder-market fit is crucial – the best teams have unique insights into the problems they're solving and the determination to overcome obstacles.
I look for large, growing, or untapped markets where innovative solutions can create significant value. The ideal opportunity has a clear path to scaling from initial traction to market leadership with defensible advantages.
I prioritize products with sustainable competitive advantages, whether through proprietary technology, network effects, or unique business models that are difficult to replicate and deliver measurable value to customers.
While I invest at early stages, I look for evidence of product-market fit and customer validation. The most promising startups show strong user engagement metrics, retention, and clear paths to efficient customer acquisition.
I focus on businesses with attractive unit economics and clear paths to profitability. The ability to scale efficiently with capital is essential for long-term success, with high gross margins and reasonable customer acquisition costs.
I prioritize opportunities where my experience, network, and resources can meaningfully accelerate a company's growth trajectory. I take a hands-on approach, providing strategic guidance, industry connections, and operational support.
With 414 investments and 159 successful exits, my portfolio spans various industries with a focus on technology and innovation.

My investment methodology combines rigorous analysis with founder-centric support to maximize the potential for success.
I conduct thorough yet efficient due diligence, evaluating the founding team, market opportunity, product differentiation, and business model. My process is designed to be respectful of founders' time while ensuring investment decisions are well-informed.
I believe in fair, transparent, and straightforward deal terms that align incentives between founders and investors. My goal is to structure investments that support long-term company building rather than optimizing for investor control.
Beyond capital, I provide access to my extensive network of industry experts, potential customers, strategic partners, and follow-on investors. My connections span across technology, finance, and various vertical industries.
I serve as a trusted advisor to founders, providing strategic guidance on product development, go-to-market strategies, team building, and operational challenges. My experience across 414 investments gives me pattern recognition that helps founders avoid common pitfalls.
The process begins with an introductory meeting or pitch, typically coming through my network of trusted referrals, co-investors, or accelerator programs. I look for passionate founders with clear vision and compelling initial traction.
I conduct a high-level evaluation of the market opportunity, product differentiation, business model, and founding team. This typically involves 1-2 follow-up discussions to address initial questions and understand the company's strategic vision.
For promising opportunities, I perform comprehensive due diligence including market research, product evaluation, financial analysis, customer interviews, and team assessment. My approach is thorough but efficient, typically completed within 2-3 weeks.
Based on due diligence findings, I make investment decisions quickly and communicate them clearly to founders. When proceeding with an investment, I work with founders to agree on fair and straightforward terms that align our interests.
After investing, I establish a regular cadence of communication with founders, provide introductions to my network, offer strategic guidance, and help prepare for future funding rounds. My involvement is tailored to each company's specific needs.
