About the Protagonist

A career technology company founder, CEO, and inventor with a rare blend of technical, financial and business acumen, I bring over 25 years of startup and venture capital experience to help founders, innovators, and investors get where the are going, faster.

Why I Do This

For over 25 years, I played by the rules of contemporary venture capital. I raised tens of millions of dollars in return for equity in my startups because this is what I was taught founders are "supposed to do."

I would not be where I am today without my relationship with the venture capital industry. But, at the same time, I would not be where I am today because of my relationship with the venture capital industry. I have learned that venture capital investors rarely consider founders' best interests when making business and financial decisions, often leading to devastating personal and professional consequences.

It doesn't have to be this way. I want to change this.

In 2021, I penned a disruptive investment thesis, which I call Venture Capital 2.0. Venture Capital 2.0 is the nexus of innovation investing in the Sixth Wave and a recalibration of Venture Reciprocity. My mission is to rebalance and reinvigorate the relationship between innovative founders and the investors that underwrite that innovation.

I work directly with startup founders and the next generation of startup investors every day. I write about my experience and publish my research about emerging technology, markets and my emerging venture portfolio strategy here.
