Investing is how I test where I think technology creates value. I keep my philosophy here and publish anonymized private-market memos in this public document.
I care more about whether the logic holds up than whether the price agrees next month. If you see a hole, tell me.
One constraint matters: my career and my portfolio are often the same bet. I want the upside from tech without putting myself in a position where a bad cycle forces me to sell.
How I invest
- Survive first. I keep broad market exposure and money driven by something other than U.S. tech. The point is to stay in the game when my favorite ideas are wrong.
- Earn concentration. I take larger positions only when I have a view on the company, its execution, and the price. A good story isn’t enough.
- Let prices change the answer. The mix should move when expected returns do. A permanent percentage on this page would become false precision.
- Treat private investments as tuition. I get access to decks, models, and ambitious builders. I also assume the money can go to zero. Some days this is learning; some days it’s socially acceptable gambling.
Public portfolio reports
I’m moving current holdings, thesis changes, and performance into Earnings Summary. The plan is an automated monthly snapshot and a deeper quarterly report.
Until that is live, this page is about the process. It won’t pretend a stale allocation table is a current portfolio.
Known risks
- Career correlation. A tech downturn can hit my income and investments at the same time.
- Concentration. A broad U.S. index is already heavy in the same large technology companies I follow closely.
- Optimism. I can confuse a product I like with a stock or private investment worth owning.
- Liquidity. Private investments can take years to return cash, if they return any.
