"AI and data-driven tools will fundamentally reshape the day-to-day operations of every VC firm. The firms that adopt them first and adapt the fastest will win. Ironically, the very AI companies many VCs backed are now the ones transforming how VC itself is done. It’s a full-circle moment… and I am excited to be building the Innovius version of it."

Proud to be building:

  • Georgia Tech SF Community

  • Athena Platform
