Together with investors, we support engineers bringing technology to the front lines of our biggest challenges and opportunities:- National Security- Public Safety- Transportation- Clean EnergyAs an operator, most of my experience was at Palantir, where I was a founding member of their defense team, spending 11 years as a forward deployed engineer. I was the team lead for “Palantir Forward” (the basis for an 800M Army contract), and “Palantir Mobile” (a product used by federal law enforcement). In support of our customers, I had the privilege to deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, Japan, and the Horn of Africa. We not only developed life saving products, but also built an incredibly valuable business: revenue grew from zero to billions, and the company IPO'd in 2020.As a venture investor, I got my start in 2010 by participating in Palantir’s Series D round, becoming the only employee to purchase preferred shares.
