About Tim

I have spent the past 15 years shaping the financial services, consumer, and technology sectors. My journey began as an investment banker at Deutsche Bank, before leading an all-star equity research team at Morgan Stanley. The next milestone was at Lazard, where I managed a $1 billion growth equity fund and delivered a 19% IRR over 4 years. The momentum continued when I moved to Kabbage, a leading provider of financial services to small businesses. There, I forged strategic partnerships and led the company’s successful sale to American Express in 2020, generating an impressive $850 million outcome. In the last 3 years, I helped 10+ teams raise capital from such leading VCs as a16z, invested personally in 20+ financial technology and crypto startups, and founded a financial advisory firm Grail Capital. As an investor, I am always on the lookout for exceptional teams to support. This philosophy extends to my own team and mentees. Several of my former associates have gone on to prestigious roles at leading hedge funds and VC firms, have taken companies public, and have founded successful startups. I find immense fulfillment in empowering talent and helping them reach their full potential. Looking forward to getting to know you and exploring how I could set you up for success!
