I help identify, launch and raise capital for tech startups that solve real world problems. I partner with dozens of Angel investors and venture capital firms to send them vetted deal flow in the verticals that they are interested in.

I helped the tech startups that I mentor and advise raise $16.5M in Angel, Seed Capital and grant funding in 2021.

As an Angel investor, one of my clean energy investments just went public on 12/31/2021: Heliogen $HLGN.

In 2021, I Co-Founded the largest pitch competition in the Inland SoCal region called Riverside Angel Summit. We raised a $100,000 special purpose vehicle (SPV) called Citrus Seeds LLC to invest in the winner(s) of Riverside Angel Summit.

I am working to build a tech startup ecosystem in Riverside and Inland SoCal. Through my role as Director of the EPIC Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the University of California, Riverside, I spend my time identifying, mentoring and helping to get funding for promising startups.
