About

From Indiana to Silicon Valley, I spent a decade in product, including on YouTube's early monetization team and was Netflix's first Head of Mobile. Also had a humbling stint as a founder. I joined a16z in 2013, moving into bio and hard tech as I believed the hardest problems to solve were in atoms, not apps. After helping launch their first Bio Fund, I founded Refactor in 2015, one of a16z's first spinouts. Ten years and five funds later, I'm still writing the first check. Refactor backs companies built on atoms. Hard is the filter. Not impossible is the faith.
