About
As managing general partner of Grit and Turtle Ventures, I am driven by a massively transformative purpose - to architect the future of High-Performance Intelligent Cities (HPIC) and ensure trust and efficiency in a machine-connected world. Our focus is supplementing core technology gaps with proven solutions that solve global scale problems across entire industries. We believe that True Grit is the difference between success and failure. That's why we invest in early-stage companies with disruptive potential and stick with them through the early adopter phase and beyond mass adoption. Our approach requires both outer strength and inner softness, representing our culture of compassion, just like a turtle sticking its neck out to bet on promising startups.

Our portfolio of five companies has the potential to solve global-scale problems and become unicorns in their res…
Experience
General Partner
Axiom-Nexus Ventures · Los Angeles, CA
Present
Axiom-Nexus Ventures exists at the intersection of foundational conviction and transformational capital. We are a focused, thesis-driven venture firm built to identify and back the substrate-layer companies that do not merely participate in technological shifts — they make those shifts possible. Where others invest in what the market already sees, we invest in the infrastructure that the market will one day depend on entirely. Structural dependency is the deepest moat in venture capital, and we build our portfolio around it — backing the teams removing the systemic bottlenecks that have constrained AI, energy, and compute from reaching their full potential. We do not chase trends. We do not patch symptoms. We fund the foundational layer that unlocks outsized, compounding value across the entire technology ecosystem — because when you own the substrate, everything built above it works in your favor.

Finally, we stick our neck out like the turtle betting on companies from the earliest of stages – for not to risk is not to gain! Each Grit And Turtle Ventures portfolio company is a moonshot born of a massively transformative purpose (MTP) built around one or more of our revolutionary cutting edge highly disruptive technologies within our portfolio of patents.
