I built and own Factory with friends and family. I'm thankful to be a cofounder of Cartesia, Engram, Rox, Snorkel, SambaNova, and Together. I'm lucky to be included as a cofounder of a venture firm Modern Capital.
Founders that trusted me to help before they formed their companies are very special to me including 1001, Apex, Artera, Cognition, Flapping Airplanes, Flourish, Galileo, Long Lake Management, Modular, Radical Numerics, Recursive Intelligence, Ricursive Intelligence, Sequence, Simile, and Transfyer.
I am fortunate to participate as an advisor or investor in some amazing companies including

I advise GV. My wife is most happy about the companies in which I've invested, advised, or cofounded that have had great exits, but I told her this is about conflicts not track record... I remain unreasonably proud of companies cofounded with lifelong friends, students, and colleauges that have had successful exits including Lattice Data (now part of Apple), Inductiv (now part of Apple), Predibase (now part of Rubrik), and Numbers Station (now part of Alation), and Factory's first incubation Rivos (now part of Meta).
