Built by a Founder for Founders.

We had just closed $120M on a company I helped launch. Yet I remember the feeling mid-flight from Boston to L.A.: a decade of income, success, and a family back home depending on it, all grinding to a halt the moment I stop. That was the moment I decided to engineer a life worth being present for.

I spent 10 years in startups, helping teams raise over $400M in venture capital to scale next-gen companies. I watched founders build incredible companies and end up with nothing when the music stopped. High income without ownership is a nicer cage, not freedom.

In 2014 I made my first passive investment, mostly out of curiosity. What I learned surprised me. I started channeling more of the money I made building companies into uncorrelated assets. Friends took notice and invested alongside. And by 2020, I had built Ocean Ridge Capital to help other founders do the same. We started as direct operators, buying and turning around distressed multifamily. That experience changed how we look at every deal.

Today we allocate capital alongside our investors into real estate, private credit, and select alternative assets that have real asymmetry. Our money goes in next to yours. On every deal, we're in it together.
