consumer defined

i'm an early stage consumer-centric investor. i invest from pre-launch to post product-market fit. i obsessively analyze the behavior and technology shifts of consumers to find opportunities where early teams are best advantaged to capitalize on waves of change.

i invest in businesses where consumers are the direct users and purchasers of products - and also in enterprise businesses directly addressing the biggest shifts impacting consumers.

i'm a student of consumer. always learning. some recent learnings here.

i believe consumer companies shape culture - and that they can be an outsized force for good. the best companies blend strong consumer-facing brands with powerful enterprise operations.

i believe brand can be a moat - but only when paired with exceptional talent and execution. the best brands have multiple moats, giving them consistent edge.

at maveron, we've been investing in consumer for over 25 years. we've built case studies on how best-in-class teams create best-in-class outcomes.

i believe 1 + 1 can equal 3. the right partnerships - between founders and early employees, investors and entrepreneurs, LPs and managers - create something greater. my role is to help spark those pairings and surround teams with the people and resources that amplify momentum.
