I sometimes invest in startups I find compelling, either because I know the founders to be wildly smart and hardworking, or because I care about the change they are trying to make in the world, or ideally both! So far this has included:
- icebrg (Acquired by Gigamon) – metadata-based network security
- Ethel’s Club – coworking space and online community for people of color
- YourChoice Therapeutics – revolutionary contraceptives for people of all genders
- Bennu – engineering management automation
- Syntexys – legal documentation automation
- Cerebral – mental health telemedicine
- JuiceBox – intimacy and sexual health via chatbot
- Jelly Labs – Github for science
- Edify – smarter engineering onboarding
