I founded Escape Velocity Ventures ("EV3") to invest in startups at the earliest stage, as I believe my purpose in life is to believe in people at moments when the world isn't doing them justice.

It once looked like I might have a traditional career, but I believe the internet is the new America, and there's more meaning and upside in being internet native.

I'm also a vegetarian and believer in fundamental animal rights. I founded the Mahamaya Foundation for Dogs to support street dogs in India's spiritual capital: Kashi and in my hometown of NYC.

I hope to be in the last generation of humans to default into the college-corporate scam, and maybe even the last generation to physically die if my brilliant contemporaries have their way.
