San Diego, California, United States
I am a product-focused founder and investor who loves finding solutions to boring, unsexy problems. I have over 10 years of experience in building, scaling, and investing in B2B SaaS companies that solve niche business challenges and bottlenecks. As the Managing Partner at Mailbox Ventures, I invest and operate small businesses that have the potential to generate consistent checks in my mailbox. I also mentor and advise startups through various platforms and programs, such as Startup San Diego, Interlock Capital, and Shenanigans.vc. I am passionate about supporting the startup ecosystem and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
El Porto Laundry is Mailbox Ventures first portfolio company. El Porto Laundry is South Bay's premier full service laundromat. We offer all laundry services from self-serve to wash and fold to customized commercial services and everything in between. We are fully attended with our friendly staff always ready to help. We are a California Certified Small Business and registered with most Southern California and state procurement systems.
Mailbox Ventures invests and operates small businesses. Thesis is to purchase existing businesses, modernize them, and create a strong operational system which leads to consistent checks in your mailbox. Goal is to purchase 5-10 new ventures in the next 5 years. First Company - El Porto Laundry Manhattan Beach
Current Investing Status: Paused Investing in B2B Saas companies in the Pre-Seed stage. Ideal fit is companies that are focused on building their product and interacting with customers and not raising their next round. Focused on solving boring business problems and bottles necks. I love discovering new niche businesses.
I am currently only investing via the Interlock Capital syndicate. I only refer companies that I mentor or advise after we've worked together for some time.
