Joe can empathize with founders he funds. He was founder and CEO of StarMine where he raised angel and venture capital, architected products, interviewed 1000 candidates to build a star team of 115, grew sales quickly to $33m ARR (earning Inc 500 3 years in a row), and sold the company to Thomson Reuters (now Refinitiv) for $100m.
Joe then turned to seed investing and made 45+ investments (SeedFolio “Fund 1”) in early-stage companies. He has been enriched with both large returns and lessons learned. In early 2021, he opened SeedFolio Fund 2 to outside investors and has grown assets to $20m.
The analytical approach he takes to quantifying risk-adjusted returns for potential investments stems from his studies into the mathematics (and psychology) of decision sciences while earning his master’s degree at Stanford.
