Venture Capital / Private Equity

I've been a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor for over 25 years. I founded Practical Venture Capital and 500 Startups, and previously worked at Founders Fund and PayPal. I’ve invested in hundreds of startups around the world. I have a BS in Engineering and Applied Mathematics from the Johns Hopkins University. Practical Venture Capital is a VC secondary firm that provides liquidity solutions for LPs and GPs in early-stage VC funds. We specialize in buying fund interests in microVC funds at years 5-10, and direct secondary in breakout companies in those portfolios.
