I was the founding partner of 500 Startups, a global venture capital fund headquartered in Silicon Valley with ~$500M AUM. Before 500, I managed early-stage investments for Founders Fund, and ran the Facebook fbFund. Previously, I was Director of Marketing at PayPal, prior to its IPO and thru its subsequent acquisition by eBay in 2001 until I left in 2004. In the mid-90's, I founded Aslan Computing, an internet & e-commerce business which was acquired in 1998.
I've invested in hundreds of startups around the world, including Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), Credit Karma, Lyft, SendGrid, Intercom, Talkdesk, Mint.com (acq'd by Intuit for $170M), Wildfire Interactive (acq'd by Google for $350M), MakerBot (acq'd by Stratasys for $400M), SlideShare (acq'd by LinkedIn for $120M), Mashery (acq'd by Intel for $200M), among others.
