About Me

I'm a venture investor at Adams Street Partners, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I focus on backing exceptional founders across AI, data infrastructure, developer tools, and cybersecurity. At Adams Street, I invest at the growth stage—but I also write pre-seed and seed angel checks when I meet a team I can't stop thinking about.

Before investing, I studied math and computer science at Vanderbilt, where I spent most of my time thinking about hard problems and writing a lot of code. These days, I spend my time thinking about the foundational problem spaces across software, and occasionally vibe code. I'm endlessly curious about how infrastructure is evolving as AI becomes more deeply integrated into how we write code, deploy systems, and interact with software.

If you're a builder working on anything in infrastructure, AI, or cyber—or just want to jam on an idea—I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out at aidan@thepaks.com.
