Building durable cash flow and asymmetric equity.
I operate a concentrated portfolio across AI advertising, franchise growth, growth advisory, and capital access. Three ventures receive active time, one runs passively, and everything else stays deliberately on ice.

On IcePortfolio thesis
Cash flow funds the work. Advisory compounds judgment. Software creates upside.
The portfolio is intentionally concentrated. Scaling, MVP, beta, and active ventures receive time now; frozen and on ice ventures preserve ideas without diluting execution.
