About

After 20+ years working in tech companies - most recently as CEO of MongoDB, I am now investing, focused on frontier tech - novel AI infrastructure, quantum computing, and connections between AI and the physical world. I also remain interested in data infrastructure and developer tools. The views here are my own, and do not reflect those of my employer Battery Ventures—no investment advice is intended.
