Founder · CEO · Operator
Founder & CEO of GemAlgo. Operator behind $250M+ in business exits across data, media, consumer technology, and real estate — and the systematic equities algorithm built to compound what comes next.
The Founder's Story
I've spent thirty years building and selling companies. Suncoast Research Labs sold for $200 million. I sold an Android TV brand to Google for $20 million. I scaled Set TV to $6 million a month in revenue. I've deployed over $50 million into real estate development and flips.
After those exits, I had a capital allocation problem most financial advisors were unprepared to solve. I didn't need help finding an investment. I needed something that would actually perform — not at 8% annually while inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, but at the level my businesses had generated.
I looked at everything. Traditional investments felt stagnant. Private equity locked capital with uncertain outcomes. Hedge funds had $25 million minimums and still underperformed consistently. Nothing performed like my businesses had.
Then I understood why. The investors who consistently outperform — Renaissance Technologies, Two Sigma, D.E. Shaw — are not analysts making predictions. They are engineers running systems. Mathematical, systematic, emotionless.
So I assembled a team. Quantitative researchers. AI engineers. Data scientists. And I gave them one rule above all others: preserve capital first. Build something I would trust with my own money. Because it was my own money.
"GemAlgo started as my personal wealth engine. After three years of verified, consistent performance, I opened it to a select group of investors who share the same standards."
Track Record
Data & research business — built systematic processes for collecting, cleaning, and monetizing data at scale. Sold for $200M.
Consumer hardware brand acquired by Google. Built on operational systems, not individual expertise.
Scaled to $6 million a month in recurring revenue. Systematic model, not heroic individual effort.
Data and lead intelligence platforms generating $30M+ in cumulative outcomes.
$50M+ deployed into ground-up development and value-add flips across multiple markets.
Systematic equities algorithm built for my own capital first. Now available to a select few.
Operating Philosophy
The businesses that compound value over decades are built on processes that work regardless of who is operating them.
Protect capital first, capture upside second. In that order. Always. It's the only rule that doesn't bend.
My capital operates in the same system as investor capital. There is no version of this where our interests diverge.
