Managing Partner 

Welcome to Big Apple VC.

​

At the heart of our firm lies a simple belief, exceptional hospitality is both an art and a sound investment. We see every property not merely as a building, but as a living, breathing experience that connects people, communities, and cultures. Our mission is to identify, invest in, and elevate hospitality assets that deliver long-term value, operational excellence, and authentic guest experiences.

​

The hospitality industry is evolving rapidly, shaped by technology, traveler expectations, and a renewed focus on meaningful, memorable stays. At Big Apple VC, we invest in teams, brands, and spaces that embrace this evolution with creativity and integrity. From boutique hotels to lifestyle dining concepts, our portfolio reflects a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community impact.

​

We believe that great investments begin with great people. Our partners, operators, and staff share our dedication to excellence, transparency, and forward-thinking design. Together, we are redefining what it means to deliver hospitality, where financial success and guest satisfaction grow hand in hand.

​

Thank you for visiting us. I invite you to explore how we’re building the future of hospitality, one exceptional experience at a time.
