After 9 years with the firm, I’ve decided to leave Spark Capital. It’s not a decision I make lightly, as Spark is an incredible firm, filled with talented, kind people. I’m deeply grateful for the time they have invested in allowing me to apprentice in this industry and for giving me the opportunity to grow as an investor. My partners are at the peak of their game, and I’ll be rooting for them going forward and support them however I can in transition to exiting. I don’t know what I’m doing next, and I’m excited to figure out my next chapter.

I’m endlessly appreciative of the of the Founders that took a chance on working with me over the years. Choosing a VC partner is a consequential decision, and one that required faith on their part to give me the opportunity to work with them. I have learned so much from watching the Founders I’ve had the privilege of partnering with execute against their ambitious visions. I admire them all for the risks they take daily, their passion for the dent they aim to make in the universe, and the endless energy the generate to drive their teams to accomplish improbable feats.

Lastly, thanks to my friends in the industry. I’m grateful for all the relationships I’ve built, and I’d love to stay in touch or reconnect as I explore next steps. Thank you.
