About Timothy Ferriss

Timothy Ferriss is an early-stage technology investor and angel investor who has made 63 investments while serving as an advisor to companies like Uber, Facebook, and Shopify. His investment thesis focuses on early-stage consumer internet startups and emerging tech, with a geographic focus that includes major U.S. tech hubs. Ferriss typically invests check sizes of $10,000 to $25,000 and generally acts as a follow investor rather than a lead, treating startup capital as "casino money" he is comfortable losing. Notable portfolio companies include Uber, Facebook, Shopify, and Duolingo, all of which he invested in during their early stages. He distinguishes his approach by advocating for building a diversified portfolio rather than single bets, planning exits before investing, and testing strategies with "paper trading" for two years before committing real capital. Ferriss is also the bestselling author of *The 4-Hour Workweek* and host of *The Tim Ferriss Show*, where he publicizes his philosophy of calibrated risk and systematic experimentation.
