operator · angel · LA — currently building RM Growth▍
I'm currently building RM Growth — a bet on social commerce becoming a trillion dollar market before 2030.
Previously founded ALTRO, where we raised $23M to build the first tri-bureau $75 tradeline — helping low-income Americans build credit with their subscriptions. Launched nationwide with Discover. Top 3 in the App Store when we were acquired in 2024.
Spent 25% of my life building ALTRO, and was blessed with some amazing moments:
2020 Thiel Fellow. YC S20. TIME's Best Inventions. Cover of Forbes.
Besides building, I'm Vice Chairman of the USC Credit Union and angel invest in founders building for impact.
