Hi, I'm Carl 👋

I'm a software engineer, entrepreneur, and investor with over 10 years of experience building impactful software and companies.

Who I Am

  • Software Engineer & Entrepreneur: I’ve spent a decade working at the intersection of technology and business—building software, launching startups, and investing in emerging technologies at places like Coinbase and founding companies that went through programs like Y Combinator.
  • Founder at Excel: Excel blends consultancy and holding company
  • Coinbase Alum: I started my career at Coinbase, advancing to Senior Software Engineer. My work spanned commerce, decentralized and centralized exchanges, and core financial infrastructure. I contributed to systems that moved trillions of dollars, secured hundreds of billions, and served hundreds of millions of users.
  • Investor: As the sole technical member of the Coinbase Ventures investment committee, I led early-stage cryptocurrency investments (about 40 direct investments and many more contributions). Before that I worked on the fund of funds at Foundry Group.

What I Do

At Excel, I combine my extensive experience in software, entrepreneurship, and investing to:

  • Build Software: From simple SaaS applications to complex data infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with Entrepreneurs: Partnering with founders to bring innovative ideas to life.
  • Deploy Capital: Investing in ecosystems and startups I believe in.
