I get excited by products solving the toughest problems in the real world, particularly within the complex, high-stakes sectors of energy, the built environment, and industry. These markets demand robust solutions and are known for their deliberate pace, but even here, speed and product discipline truly differentiate. The best teams I’ve seen deliver early and improve fast. In the end, the product is what separates a great demo from an enduring company.
With a background in physics and engineering, I’ve always been drawn to complex systems and first-principles thinking. Entering venture through early cleantech investing, I saw plenty of brilliant ideas. I also learned that technical ingenuity only creates impact when shaped by market reality. That experience defines how I partner with founders today: I seek out technical builders with conviction and curiosity, who get their product into the field early, seek unfiltered feedback, and let it shape the roadmap.
At N47, I focus on companies rethinking how we build, power, move, and operate the physical world across infrastructure digitalization, industrial AI & operations, and built environment technologies. I'm convinced the pace of these industries is being fundamentally reshaped by new tech and increasingly engaged customers. I see huge potential in teams applying modern execution playbooks: from AI-powered design loops and intuitive UX to lean, challenge-driven teams that move with urgency. If you're bringing this new speed and agility to critical infrastructure, I’d love to hear from you.
