Alex Oppenheimer

I am originally from Marin County, California (see photo above). After spending some time in Washington, DC, I moved to Israel in 2016. I currently live in Jerusalem with my family and make regular trips to the US and Europe.

I have been working in finance and with startups since 2011. I genuinely enjoy building models for companies ranging from early stage SaaS companies to mid stage marketplaces to late stage robotics companies and everything in between.

I write about engineering approaches to business and finance. I also write about productivity, AI tools, focus, and other frameworks that apply in both personal and professional contexts.

Why this costs money

I got into investing on the back of something simpler: I like spending time with founders. Working through the problem, helping them figure out how to say what they're doing in terms the business world actually cares about. The investing came after that, not before it.

People reach out for that all the time, and I want to make it available — but I also need to make it worth my time. So this is what it is.

This is explicitly not a pitch meeting. I'm not charging you to pitch me. If it turns into an investment down the road, great — and I'll refund you. If you don't feel I was helpful, I'll refund you. And if I don't feel I gave you the full force of it, I'll refund you (or we can reschedule).
