About Derek

Hi, I’m Derek. Welcome!

I played poker professionally for over 10 years, but my day job now is backing and mentoring a small group of players.

I began investing in poker players early in my career, but ended up building a passion for investing in general. I have positions in Bitcoin, real estate, public companies, and a small number of startups.

In my pre-gambling life I studied Electrical Engineering. I love analyzing technology companies and figuring out how they work (and hopefully one day investing in them).

You can read some of my writing by exploring the menu above. I’m currently in the process of putting everything I’ve learned about investing in poker players into words, but I plan to write more about technology and business soon.

Twitter is the best place to see what I’m thinking about now.
