HEY, I'M DON!
PASSIONATE ABOUT STARTUPS & VC, FOR A DECADE
I've sat on both sides of the table as a VC for General Catalyst, a managing director for my own fund, and a venture backed CEO.

Anand, Director, hired me to help Meta deploy capital to high-potential AR/VR apps that sell their products on the Oculus Quest store.
Location: Remote, Florida
I raised $5M+ as CEO from General Catalyst, Spark Capital, and Biz Stone (Twitter Founder)

Cool Stories:
AN HOUR MEETING WITH WARREN BUFFETT
I was lucky enough to meet Warren off of a cold email I sent to Dan Gilbert. Dan flew me on his private jet to Cleveland where we sat down 1:1 with Mr. Buffett.
4 YEARS ABROAD IN LONDON
As a result of my startup I was able to sponsor my own Entrepreneurship VISA and live in London for 4 years. This was one of the best life experiences I could have asked for.
MUSIC PRODUCER AND RAPPER
Although you might not expect it, I am actually quite a talented rapper. I've performed for an audience of 100+, and have amassed 10K's of streams on my Spotify, Apple Music, and Audius page.
