1685 Ventures Information

As a tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Abilis, I spent nearly two decades transforming how correctional agencies operate — from implementing our first state agency to scaling CORIS across three continents. After completing a successful exit and finalizing my executive transition in March 2025, I’m now focused on helping the next wave of innovators succeed. Today, I advise and invest in technology ventures—particularly those in cybersecurity, public safety, and AI-driven operational intelligence—with a focus on scaling internationally and navigating the North American market. Let’s connect if you're driving disruptive impact in public safety, cybersecurity, or government tech — or if you're looking for strategic support to enter or scale in Canada, deploy your solution, or integrate AI features into your product roadmap.
