Venture Portfolio · 2026

Building durable cash flow and asymmetric equity.

I operate a concentrated portfolio across AI advertising, business acquisitions, capital access, and software. Four ventures receive active time. Everything else stays deliberately on ice.

Current focus

The operating portfolio

Portfolio thesis

Cash flow funds the work. Software creates upside. Acquisitions build durability.

The portfolio is intentionally concentrated. Scaling, beta, and active ventures receive time now; on ice ventures preserve ideas without diluting execution.
