Bio

Joe founded Undeterred Capital in late 2020 to invest in early stage entrepreneurs fighting to bring scientific and technological innovations to the market.

Before starting Undeterred, Joe was an entrepreneur, co-founding and serving as COO of Multiply Labs, a pharma robotics company that was spun out of MIT in 2016. Multiply raised capital from Y Combinator, Lux Capital, Josh Buckley, and Casdin Capital to create robotic systems for cell and gene therapy manufacturing. After Multiply, he was a venture partner at MarsBio, an early stage biotech venture firm.

Joe is also the co-founder of the C19 Coalition, a non-profit focused on COVID-19 response whose partners helped manufacture and deliver over 1 billion PPE items, and have facilitated donations of over 5 million PPE items to frontline workers and public schools.

Several times a year, Joe lectures on deep tech commercialization, including at Duke University, MIT, Caltech, USC, and UCLA. His lectures include “Founding & Funding Disruptive Companies”, “The White Space Beyond: Creating New Markets in SynBio & Deep Tech”, and “Responding to Uncertainty in Food & Agriculture”, among others. 

Joe lives in Los Angeles with his wife Lisa, their daughter Gigi, and their dog Henry.
