Why did you choose True?
I chose True because I’m energised by the consumer space - it’s amazing to be able to invest in innovations that you can see yourself and your friends using! I also think True’s unique model of multi-asset investments alongside innovation consulting creates really cool synergies and competitive advantage.
How would you describe your job to a five-year-old?
You want to go to the moon to collect rocks, but you don’t have a rocket. I can help you build your rocket, and in return you have to give me some of the rocks that you collect.
What book, article or movie has profoundly impacted your life?
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant - gold dust knowledge on building a happy and prosperous life.
If you could reimagine something to make life easier for people, what would it be?
Dating. I think the current online dating model is broken, one reason being a misalignment between daters’ and dating apps’ incentives. We’re in a world where more and more people want companionship but are increasingly unable to find it. This needs to change.
What makes a start-up standout to you?
A deeply thought through product and an outlier founding team.
