• At Eleven, I’m known for: connecting the dots and bringing structure and clear next moves for startups.

• If I weren’t in venture capital, I’d be a university professor.

• All-time favorite book: Many. I am currently reading “Source Code” by Bill Gates and I like it a lot.

• When not working, find me: reading a book with a cup of tea.
