Investment banking, then venture capital.
I started my career in M&A as an investment banker at Oppenheimer (NYSE: OPY). I then moved into venture capital as a Partner at Zeroth.ai— a SoftBank-backed fund focused on AI startups around the world — where I wrote ~$500K cheques to 50+ founders across multiple geographies.
What I learned: how investors actually evaluate growth. What makes a metric defensible under scrutiny. What makes one fall apart on the second slide. The exposure to fifty go-to-market motions across categories became the foundation everything since has been built on.
