About

I've been on a mission to bring innovation to the people by providing capital, mentorship, and other resources to entrepreneurs. For the past 12 years, I have built fintech, adtech companies (1 exit), and failed at building consumer companies. I've successfully raised 4 funds (1 venture debt +3 vc) and built Starta Ventures a NY-based accelerator that invests in immigrant founders. I've mentored and invested in over 150 startups from all over the world. Prior to my entrepreneurial and investor journey, I spent 4 years on Wall Street- building fintech products and 4 years at Nielsen-helping big brands launch new products in emerging markets.
