Hi, I'm Koko. I'm building Nova.

Previously, I worked on the investment team at Lux Capital and as Head of Growth at Mach Industries. I studied Mathematics at NYU Courant where I graduated in 2.5yrs while working 10 jobs. I saved $140k from tuition and earnings, which I turned into a portfolio of 12 angel investments in my friends' deep tech companies. After 20 months, that portfolio was marked at 12x MOIC.

Today, I manage a $15m fund backed by Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, Kevin Hartz, Josh Wolfe, Lux Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and more, where I write early stage checks from $100k to $1m.

My investments:

• Mach (Defense)

• Etched (Semis)

• Orbit (Neurostim)

• Oligo (Space)

• Morph (Agents Infra)

• … and more

My projects:

• Writings

• Guide To Deep Tech

• Deep Tech Research

• Old Website

My current intellectual musings:

• Prophet Engine

• Securitize Everything

• Weaponized Capitalism
