I invest, often in the seed round, in friends, in people who hustle hard, show traits of never giving up, are passionate (this is so important, you see through it when a founder isn't), is culture driven in how they scale their team (hiring is hard enough, great cultures land you 10x'ers), and in markets I think are crazy (sometimes these are the markets I know 'the least' about). Feel free to reach out and I'll let you know if I'm interested or I can help.
