*Hello World.*
I am passionate about start-ups and venture investing, particularly within e-commerce, marketplaces, and consumer-tech domains. In my spare time I provide pro bono advisory to early-stage start-ups on formulating overall business strategy including GTM and customer acquisition.
Back in 2013, I co-founded Blurb Box, a branding and merchandising solutions company. As an agency partner, Blurb Box helped Fortune 500 companies and leading consumer brands express themselves through innovative packaging and merchandising products. We were acquired in late-2019.
Parallel to Blurb Box, I spent my time experimenting on exciting direct-to-consumer ideas. Along with my co-founders, I designed, tested and brought-to-market several interesting ventures across myriad product categories. The most notable among these were:
Identifying problem statements and decoding possible solutions deeply excites me. I am always scouting for fresh start-ups that alleviate consumer/enterprise pain-points through product innovation or business model innovation. Below, I am collating interesting start-ups that have caught my eye as well as sharing my outlook on a few industries that I believe are ripe for disruption in the coming years.

Outside of start-ups and venture investing, I enjoy playing and watching sports, reading non-fiction, exploring consumer hardware and debating the meaning of life. Below, I will attempt to expand on my interests, and I hope to add content gradually.
