Founder & Managing Partner

My personal mission is to help people become the best versions of themselves. Professionally, that has meant supporting entrepreneurs to build the businesses they are meant to create.

In 2013, I became an advisor to AngelList, and later joined the team. I specialize in providing support with fundraising, coaching, and connecting entrepreneurs to world class operators so they can build for the long term.

Co-Founder & General Partner

I am addicted to early-stage angel investing. I spend a lot of my time dreaming about what the future could look like and invest in people who do the same but are creating it.

Most recently I was at Founders Fund, a top-tier fund in San Francisco. Most of my successful investments have a common theme around job creation and flexibility, but I’ve invested in everything from rocket ships to sandwich delivery.

General Partner

My background is in product management so I love to jam and brainstorm, but what underpins how I work with founders is authentic human connection, empathy, and trust. I believe that a big part of my role as a VC is to help remove barriers, open doors, and be a trusted partner throughout this incredible journey.

Before joining Long Journey, I was at Coatue, where I helped build the strategy for our first early stage fund and get it off the ground. I’m also the co-founder of Lej, a clothing brand, as well as a part-time DJ.

Investment Associate

I am a former operator turned investor. I sold my first company, which was a consumer retail trading app, during the height of the GameStop boom for an all cash exit. Afterward, I spent time exploring many ideas with 2 friends and eventually, we built a system of record for last mile delivery companies. After scaling this business, I realized I missed the zero to one and I loved helping out my founder friends going through the early stages of company building. I joined Long Journey to deepen my commitment to early stage entrepreneurs and to chase the magically weird.

Head of Platform

I’ve spent my career designing environments to help people realize their full potential. As the Head of Platform, I get to build ecosystems to help magically weird founders realize the futures they envision for the world. In my previous journeys: I built a new, global college from scratch (Minerva University), launched a new university focused on lifelong learning at ASU, and worked in investment banking at Barclays Capital.

In my magically weird future, I hope to build a theme park dedicated to fostering meaningful human connection and relationships.

Head of Operations

Creating order within chaos is one of my favorite pastimes. My childhood intrigue with jigsaw puzzles and inclination toward numbers led me to a long stint as a tax attorney focused on venture funds.

At Long Journey, I’m behind the scenes solving the day-to-day financial, legal, and operational puzzles. On the weekends, you can find me wine tasting in Healdsburg, skiing in Tahoe, or fly fishing in Colorado.

Executive Assistant

I love helping and supporting those in my community and being an Executive Assistant helps me live that every day. At Long Journey, I’m the Executive Assistant to Lee Jacobs and Arielle Zuckerberg and I work to help them achieve their goals by providing top-tier administrative support. I also help ensure a smooth operation of the firm through driving efficiencies and organization in our deal flow process and planning purposeful events for our LPs and founders.

Prior to Long Journey, I was the Executive Assistant to the CEO of Crusoe Energy, one of Long Journey’s portfolio companies. When I’m not working, you can find me exploring my new home in Washington state, being a dog mom to my 2.5 year old pup, and reading.
