Mission

Create Positive, Progressive & Principled Systems That Help People Help Themselves

I care about creating positive, progressive, and principled systems that help people help themselves (change the way they work, live, and play) and be successful as they evolve over time. Here, I define success as being able to improve one’s standard of living mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The metric that I use to define success here is how much was health and human performance improved.

I am committed to building the largest, legitimate actionable behavior change dataset in the world. I aspire to not only apply mindful intelligence to help transform venture capital and allocate capital to people and projects building tools that empower positive change, but also help others practice mindful concept design when creating new technologies across infrastructure, healthcare, financial services, and education, and help them facilitate positive behavior change at scale with their societal contributions.
