Portfolio thesis

Where I like to bet.

1. Operators I trust. I overweight people I know can execute.

2. Distribution advantage. Products with a path to attention, sales efficiency, or community.

3. Category timing. AI, cybersecurity, hardware tooling, consumer behavior shifts, and cash-flowing real assets.

4. Asymmetric upside. Small checks where conviction, access, and timing can compound.
