Hey, there! My name is Alex Iskold, and I am a Technology Entrepreneur and Investor working in New York City.

 

Alex Iskold, Author of Startup Hacks, Founder and Managing Partner of 2048 Ventures

 

I am a Founder and Managing Partner at 2048 Ventures, and a first-check investor in over 150 early stage companies including GlossGenius, Gorgias, Vitally, Narmi, BentoBox, Mantl, DataCamp, Stream, Healthie, Skopenow soona, AirspaceLink, and nomic.bio.

I lead pre-seed rounds and back visionary founders who are creating technologies of the future. I specifically focus on biotech, deep tech, platform and API companies.

I am a big fan of keeping things simple, so below you can find some highlights about me. Although this write up is pretty dated, it is a good overview of part of my personal journey. This is a sequel that I wrote recently. You can also find me on Twitter and LinkedIn.

My current obsessions include startups, building products, venture capital, science, books, yoga and other exercise, cooking, and vegan food.

In the past, I've obsessed over poetry, teaching, complex systems, engineering, TV, running, red wine and blogging for ReadWriteWeb.
