Social Impact Investing
Why Social Impact Investing
This is one of the more important ways that we can spend our money and time. Hashtags are great, but "wiring and hiring" is better. I'm most interested in 1st time founders from marginalized backgrounds, or serving underserved communities.Investment Strategy
I invest time and money in businesses that fit one or both of the following criteria:- Strong fundamentals, capital efficient, and opportunity for recurring revenue
- "Moonshot" opportunities that can transform our society for the better. Here are a few of the businesses that I'm currently excited about.
Here's a little of what that looks like in practice:

PWRFWD - "Pronounced Power Forward," a way to bring equity to under-monetized athletes.
