Hey!
I am a general partner at a venture firm Runa Capital. We invest in early-stage enterprise software and deep tech startups, and I specifically focus on open source, developer tools, infrastructure software (cloud, AI/ML, etc).
Besides VC investing, I support various non-profit organizations boosting progress. My charity interests include STEM education, open source, human capital development, digital-first charities, and especially endowments.
Having a background in maths, physics & computer science, I enjoy experimenting with tech things before they become mainstream: programming (since 2005), tech startups (since 2009), machine learning (since 2011), and Bitcoin (since 2013).
Both as a VC investor and a philanthropist, I am strongly interested in open source and eager to contribute to OSS in various ways.
