Steve invests at the intersection of design, technology, and business: at the sweet spot where a product meets a real user need, is built atop a unique insight or technological breakthrough, and has the potential to be a massive business. He is drawn to founders with two predilections: First, having spent the initial five years of his career designing products at IDEO, Steve gravitates towards product-first founders, who understand how to build technology that delights and improves the lives of its users. Second, he is drawn to founders who want to solve consequential problems. Steve’s investments include Anomalo, Bolt Threads, Brave, Cerebras Systems, Control4 [CTRL], Dust Labs, ForUsAll, Framer, KeeperTax, Loft Orbital, Mantle, Mode, Northstar, OAK Networks, Outerbounds, Pareto Labs, Pocket (acquired by Mozilla), Portals, PrivateCore (acquired by Facebook), Simple Habit, Stripe, Solana [SOL], Sunrun [RUN], Teleport, and Threads.
