— Deliberately going against the grain for far right-tail outcomes
About Me
I'm an Economics and Computer Science double major at Colby and you can probably find me at a coffee shop with a Celsius. My time is split researching, writing, and learning. I enjoy thinking about important problems and am focused on opportunities where I can flourish as an operator.
Currently, I'm a senior research fellow at Contrary Capital, where I publish in-depth analyses on the most influential startups, focusing on deeptech, crypto, and software for hardware. I also work at Keyhorse Capital, where I invest in B2B SaaS, evaluate portfolio companies for follow-on investments, and optimize efficiency within portfolio operations.
Previously, I started Krank Consulting, a startup that paid high school students to create social content for local small businesses (before UGC blew up). I grew Krank to over $12,000 in recurring revenue before going to Colby.
For fun, I swim. As captain, I led my high school swim team to 3rd in states and qualified for an All-American cut my senior year. At Colby, I walked onto the swim team and swam sprint Butterfly and Freestyle.
