What are we
building together?
I partner with founders building AI-enabled health and wellbeing across APAC and beyond. Product, distribution and category design as one system.
The thesis
AI is rewriting the infrastructure of health, wellbeing and human connection.
I invest at the intersection of AI-native care models, consumer wellbeing and APAC adoption curves. Sourced and stress-tested on the ground, because the best founders are not found from a conference room half a world away.
Who I am
I've built the thing. Twice.
I founded and scaled Dial A Vet into Australia's leading online vet platform, connecting 6.5M+ pet owners with a global veterinary team and turning telehealth for pets into an everyday service used around the world.
Two exits behind me. A portfolio backed with my own capital. And a way of thinking that comes from sitting in the chair: product loops, distribution mechanics and category design matter more than a polished deck.
Before all of this, contracted to Deloitte Managed Solutions and served with 2RAR (Amphibious) in the Australian Army. That's where I learned the two things that matter most in a startup: discipline, and how to keep moving when it is hard.
How I think about product
I look for companies where product strategy is the moat.
In AI-enabled health, the strongest founders treat distribution, data loops and category design as product decisions from day zero. I partner with teams that build the system, not just the feature.
The product is the acquisition channel. I back tools users adopt before a sales team ever calls.
Better to own a small category than fight for share in a crowded one.
AI health is not a feature layer, it is a stack rewrite of legacy care models.
The best technical products die without distribution. I look for data loops, network effects and embedded workflows that compound.
Recognition
Awards aren't the point, but they're proof the operating worked.

What I've backed
Global taste. Real names. And a focus on products that reshape how people stay healthy.
Founder note
"Having Josh as an investor has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, he's gone above and beyond with strategic guidance, high-impact intros, always a call away. He brings not just capital but clarity, empathy, and a true partnership mindset."
Why work with me
Founders working with founders.
6.5M+ users, global partnerships and the fastest growing vet telehealth company in the world. I understand product-led acquisition and marketplace liquidity from the inside.
Pattern recognition across local markets, regulatory context and founder networks that you cannot get from a quarterly visit.
Figure AI, Customer.io, Gumroad and more, before they were obvious. I look for category-defining products, not incremental features.
A thinking partner on GTM, product architecture and distribution. Intros and clarity come after the strategy is right.
