Entrepreneur, builder, and GP at FoundersEdge — a pre-seed VC firm that bets on founders who've been in the arena before.
I've founded, scaled, and sold companies. Now I help others do the same.
- FoundersEdge AI tools — building AI-assisted deal sourcing and founder evaluation pipelines
- Chief of Staff AI — personal AI agent for VC workflow automation (Claude + Airtable + Attio)
- ESP32 Pixelboard - what do you get when you combine a retro 16x16 display with an ESP32
- Personal Blog - GregRaiz.com - a personal blog with ideas and writing
- HalfIdeas — short-form content exploring half-baked ideas in AI and product
What are you building? I'm always interested in what founders are working on — reach out.
foundersedge.com — Pre-seed VC for experienced founders.
We believe founders are the unfair advantage for future founders. Hands-on support, investor connections, and strategic guidance for teams that don't need hand-holding — just the right doors opened.

- Techstars Boston — Managing Director
- Raizlabs — Founder & CEO → Inc. 5000 × 4 → acquired 2017
- Products launched — hundreds across mobile, AI, and emerging tech

Deeply involved in Boston's startup ecosystem:
- Ditch the Deck — founder storytelling events
- Funders & Founders — connecting capital and builders over food
- PEF Boston — co-host, community for post-exit founders, investors & operators
- 3IP Boston(https://www.3ip.boston) — a random gathering of interesting people
