I'm an investor and entrepreneur.


Some things about me

  • Exploring new types of markets and asset classes that werent possible before and will possibly be meaningful in the future.

  • I grew up and still spend most of my time in Tel Aviv, Israel

  • Started 3 companies and invested in over 200

  • philosophers i love: karl popper , Lucius Annaeus Seneca , René Girard.

  • I believe in the power of markets andto change the world

  • Obsessed about mimesis; most influenced by reflexivity theory (George Soros) and mimetic theory (Rene Gerard)

  • I like supporting creatives to reach their potential and designing systems. I hate operations.

Some things I believe in:

  • competition is the source of all evil, hence social media is a suffering machine

  • the way to escape competition is new markets, financial bubbles and god .

  • Owning good capital assets is a human right that everyone should have

  • Knowledge is the only limiting factor to achieving anything

  • Incentives are important. In most of the major industries, such as food, health, and education, incentives often do not align with the interests of their users.

  • my favorite definition of optimism is that all evils are caused by a lack of knowledge

Current interest themes:

  • how to help talents spark and grow faster.

  • how to engineer our mood .

  • New use cases for cryptographic primitives to facilitate truth and coordination on the internet .

  • New frontiers: neuro tech, decentralized training, space x crypto .

  • New forms of money; ai money.

  • New distribution mechanisms: new use of POW, novel mechanisms for distribution

  • The decentralization of religion: tribalism and religion will go through a decentralization process, we will see many small religions vs few big ones


Invested in over 200 companies. Selected ones that got big include:

  • I lead seed and series A rounds, and some growth, investing between $100k and $1M

  • I give grants and invest in movement builders, talk to me.
