About
I'm a founder, investor, and musician.
I'm building Fractal Capital a longevity + deep tech focused fund, we also give founders money to invest in other founders, right from the first check.
I left Egypt when I was 17 after my classmates attacked me with a gun/knife and then went to the extension school at Harvard while working on computer vision software for the blind, I decided to go full-time on building after failing key classes and have had two small acquisitions since.
I've explored over 50 countries but have never travelled as an adult.
I love to sing, play guitar, and have been getting more into production lately. Feel corny writing this but my dream is to tour one day
I also like to anonymously edit wikipedia pages, and designing hypothetical gene therapies on SnapGene that I'm unsure of the plausibility of.
Unfortunately, when it comes to virtual communication I'm reliably unreliable.
Fortunately, most positive things in my life have happened as a result of being open-minded at the right place, at the right time - that place is rarely a Zoom room and that time is not a 30 minute slot with a hard stop.

Investing
Talent tends to cluster. Give talented people the capacity to invest in others.
I run a fund called Fractal Capital that gives capital to founders to invest in founders.
Biotech
Not a scientist but some things I'm exploring.
Genetic Tattoos –– “Ink” that contains a gene snippet that modifies the DNA in my forearm cells to light up red as estrogen levels increase.
ADHD Genes –– Analyzing genetic markers associated with ADHD in me using 23andMe genetic data.
