From Google to VC: Breaking In & Scaling Up
Deep Venture Sourcing & Diligence I bring hands-on experience across the full venture lifecycle. At Google’s VC arms (GV and CapitalG), I spent five years evaluating early-stage teams and supporting late-stage growth investments—building models, competitive landscapes, and IC-ready materials for more than $400M in deployed capital. Today, I source and evaluate Pre-Seed to Series A startups as a Venture Scout & Fellow with South Loop Ventures, focusing on Smart Cities, AI, mobility, and industrial automation. I conduct market mapping, diligence, and technology assessments to identify scalable, high-conviction opportunities. I also invest as part of the Black Angels Group, strengthening my independent deal evaluation and founder support skills, particularly around GTM, fundraising strategy, and financial modeling. I’ve advised dozens of founders and understand precisely what an Investment Committee needs to make a decision.
