Joined March 2020
New S Tier Founders just dropped: (@alexkshieh, @hajsharda and @BarclayDavidP). Proud to be their first believer with @davidjrbrill for The Antifraud Company. In just a few short months, they have already identified over a $250,000,000 in fraud and built an amazing business.
Introducing The Antifraud Company (@AntifraudCo) 🧵 We raised over $5M from @AbstractVC, @BrowderCapital & @dunevc to build a private-sector DOGE, where we use AI and investigative journalism to track down those who defraud American taxpayers.

so incredibly proud and excited for this team. spending time with @PimDeWitte and team has been a true pleasure for me. the momentum and passion around the user base & product is amazing. @Medal_TV is only getting started.
I'm excited to share that Medal has raised $60M to power all the memories we create with our friends and family while we're physically apart. 🧵A thread on what we're up to, and how games are reshaping social as we know it

true. more aligned with founder timelines (multi-decade visions). @dunevc’s entire model :)
Permanent capital vehicles have more paths to outperformance on a net basis than traditional funds. It remains misunderstood, but we've seen it work across sectors:
