Work with Chris
An independent investment partner for unfamiliar markets.
I work selectively with family offices, funds and founders confronting questions where the map is still being drawn—particularly across AI, crypto and frontier science.
I am most useful before consensus forms: developing an investment view, selecting a specialist manager, evaluating an asymmetric opportunity or challenging the assumptions around an existing position.
Where I can help
Judgment where the answer is not yet obvious.
Investment theses
Develop a view on an emerging market, identify the layer where value may accrue and define the evidence that would change the conclusion.
Manager selection
Assess specialist managers through the quality of their insight, access, incentives and ability to survive a full cycle.
Opportunity review
Pressure-test a specific fund, company, protocol or asset with an emphasis on downside containment and nonlinear upside.
Independent perspective
Act as a high-trust thought partner to a principal or investment committee when the opportunity sits outside the familiar map.
Working style
A small number of close working relationships.
I work best in high-trust relationships—usually an ongoing advisory role or a defined investment project—alongside the person making the decision. The aim is candid conversation, clear thinking and useful decisions.
Start a conversation
Have something interesting in mind?
A short note is enough. Include what you are trying to decide, why it matters now and why you think I may be useful.
