As co-founder and CEO of Catch, I raised $20M from top Silicon Valley investors to pursue our vision of building a safety net not tethered to employers. We built an app used by tens of thousands of independent contractors to manage tax withholding and payments, retirement investment, and health insurance enrollment.

In 2023, I sold the company.
