Philosophy

I believe in the power of small, focused teams building useful tools. The future belongs to micro startups that solve real problems efficiently, not just companies chasing huge VC rounds. I'm betting on this future by being my own VC.

With high agency, a lot is possible. I believe the investment landscape is changing - micro startups built by small teams with high output will win the future. No one is handing out millions in VC money, so I choose to be my own VC.

Building Approach

  • Building small, focused AI tools using AWS, Azure, and NVIDIA credits
  • Targeting problems that can be solved elegantly with modern AI capabilities
  • Creating sellable assets that generate both cash flow and potential acquisition value
  • Leveraging the micro-acquisition market through platforms like acquire.com

This approach has already proven successful with ARTIFIN.ai, which I built, grew, and sold for $50,000 on acquire.com. I'm now working on several new AI tools leveraging my cloud credits and expertise.

Investing Approach

  • Writing small checks to promising students and graduates starting their entrepreneurial journey
  • Helping early founders access AI credits and technical resources
  • Taking advisory roles in select startups in exchange for equity
  • Making strategic investments in established companies
  • Building wealth through equity ownership rather than traditional employment
