He is the only natural person named on the related persons lists of the Form D filings for GTMfund II, LP and GTMfund III, LP, where he is described as Executive Officer and Manager of the General Partner of the Issuer. Before GTMfund he was the eighth employee at Udemy, a fact stated in GTMfund's own February 2026 Eightball AI announcement, and he founded Sales Hacker, which TechCrunch reports he sold to Outreach in 2018 and has since bought back; Sales Hacker, Inc. filed a Form D with the SEC in April 2015.
