I am a seasoned senior executive passionate about creating and running digital businesses. I am honored to lead technology at Transunion from Chicago, my most favorite city in the world.
My last corporate role was as a Chief Digital Officer (CDO) & Chief Information Officer (CIO) at a Fortune 50 company. I left that role to co-found a technology startup and led it as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for almost 2 years, and continued on as investor and chairman. Simultaneously, I served the board of a publicly traded Airline.
I have managed large organizations with budgets in excess of $1Bn building upon a technology pedigree. Simultaneously, I have created and grown digital businesses by identifying competitive strategies and recruiting world-class talent into high performing teams. These teams have grown revenue exponentially while creating intellectual property in the form of patents and have won awards such as The Webbies for their work.
I have had the privilege of working in leadership roles globally as a member of the senior executive team at large corporations.
My career thus far has provided me with a broad context and a unique paradigm because of the variety it exposed me to. I have been honored with opportunities in organizations of radically different scale, from angel-funded startups to Fortune 50 corporations; from deep technical roles to important commercial and general management responsibilities; in the USA as well as in the UK. Finally, experiences have taught me to see things not just from the business management P&L view but also from a shareholder return (TSR) as an independent director in a public corporation.
I have a passion for driving economic value in companies using technology investment as a strategic lever.
The most satisfying moments in my career have revolved around the creation of innovative new offerings, operational excellence, great financial discipline and, developing high-performance teams who deliver expectation-defying results. |

WorkPatterns is helping people become great managers by providing a system for one-on-ones, recurring team meetings, employee recognition, feedback, and goal setting.
At AdRoll, I helped build the company brick by brick from $0 to over $350M in annual revenue and over 700 employees. I played a variety of roles as needed from being hands on to building teams in product, sales, account management, and marketing.
I love solving user/customer problems, anticipating market developments and building highly effective and tight-knit teams.
I also do a bit of angel investing where I have a strong “vibe” with the founder(s) and think I can add value beyond my middling check size.
To recharge, I spend as much time as possible in the water, either surfing or kiteboarding. Favorite spots? OBSF, Asu (Indonesia), Namotu (Fiji), and a few other places that would be inappropriate to mention on the internet. |

We help firms refine their proposition, figure out their sales and go-to-market strategy, expand overseas and build their brands. Clients include a raft of venture capital backed businesses in North America and Europe.
Before that, I was the first local hire for Equiem, leading their business development in UK & Ireland and securing big deals with British Land, Blackstone and Nuveen. I'd previously spent 10 years at Investis, leading the company's expansion into Benelux, Russia & CIS and Middle East. I started my career in real estate at Berlin Capital Investments (now part of JLL).
Occasional angel investor and advisor.
I'll always connect with someone who sends a personalised message. |

My life thesis: execution > strategy. Compounding FTW. I'm an optimistic skeptic.
I enjoy pattern matching and read widely. The opportunity to learn every day is a gift. Time is precious. The ability to improve what and where I focus and delegate the rest is ideal.
I [of course] love my family and friends. I believe I am a logical, thoughtful adult and therefore accept my choices. I am content and therefore I have won.
Founder and CEO @Chore. We are a founder's back-office (HR, finance, compliance, equity) operations team. Back-office operations are an undifferentiated tax on success. Focusing on your superpower enables success. Chore handles the rest (i.e. we specialize in ops so you never have to) so you can achieve your dreams.
Host of the Entrepreneurial Excellence podcast. I dive deep with multi time founders about their key decisions, actions, hires, drivers and more that they use to achieve "excellence."
General Partner at the Autopilot Fund. We invest in early stage startups. We love obsessed founders who have a history of breaking through walls. I have invested in over 200 startups across multiple funds. 14 are unicorns (8 from seed).
In previous lives, I founded 3 other companies, been a product leader on a big co API team, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), and do-it-all janitor.
I enjoy building great teams, processes, and stories that unify a company around a shared mission. Helping others build successful businesses brings me joy. More successful startups = a better, more dynamic world.
People describe me as energetic, positive, creative, detailed and optimistic. I enjoy rational, logical, data driven debate built on mutual trust and respect. I'm not an engineer but people view me as "technical" and have built companies with the brightest PhDs and brilliant engineers. The best compliment I received was "you ask great questions."
Honesty, trust, fun, a sense of urgency and mission are what I look for in colleagues and places I work. Passion about my product, my company and my team is what drives me. I work hard and enjoy being surrounded by people who do the same.
"Leave the world (and your business) better than when you arrived..."
"The greatest risk is not taking one!" |

Since launching ICG Medical in 2005, Adrian has developed the business with a strong focus on growth, service innovation, customer experience and employee engagement. Adrian founded The ICG Foundation in 2015, and similarly, the Foundation shares the core of ICG Medical's vision of "employee empowerment". We believe that every child has the right to a safe, happy and caring childhood, regardless of their background. Our Foundation wants to support children who have been deprived of their basic right to a childhood, by equipping them for lifelong success.
“While in a taxi on a trip to see our new offices in India, 2014, I came face to face with a girl no older than 3, dragging a piece of carpet through the busy night-time streets. To my horror, I suddenly realised she was all alone. She wrapped herself in the carpet to lay down to sleep – that piece of carpet was her bed for the night. It's all very well to know the facts and figures… but once you see just one child living like this, you know that you have to make the opportunity to help." |

A successful entrepreneur-turned-investor, Ajay co-founded Pinnacle Systems, which he grew from his living room into a global, multibillion-dollar company that won an Emmy award and traded on NASDAQ. He joined Trinity in 2006 and invests in consumer and business applications and services.
I have walked in entrepreneurs' shoes, so I empathize with the roller coaster of emotions and experiences they face while pouring their souls into their companies. I think of myself as a VC with an entrepreneur’s heart.
What is your investment focus and why?
I’m diversified in my interests, spending time in consumer and business applications and services that enable people to focus on the innovations that matter by removing drudgery and improving lives. Each year I also spend time diving into a new sector so I can make informed bets, either then or in the future. My current deep dives involve autonomy, mobility and digital health.
What value should a VC add to a portfolio company?
Some entrepreneurs think that “VC value-add” is an oxymoron. While I disagree, I do believe that VCs should adhere to the principle of “First, do no harm." I'll never profess to know my portfolio companies’ businesses better than the CEOs, nor will I get on a high horse and pontificate. However, having been a founder and CEO myself, I know it's a lonely job and can relate to the daily struggles and triumphs of building a startup. It's my goal to be the trusted confidant and board member that CEOs want to call first, whether to celebrate victories, discuss a nagging thought at an odd hour, or help close a key hire -- whatever it takes to help them win.
What do you do when not working?
When the weather is right and time allows, you’ll find me on the ski slopes with my family, boating in the San Francisco Bay, or tandem biking with my wife -- our ultimate quality time activity. We can't get too far from each other on that tandem! |

**interesting times are upon us but i look forward to being creative and growing from them**
“I aspire to lead through love and laughter...”
and prefer to connect on a personal level and so I'll mimic this after the 25 or so dating profiles i've created...although, I'm still single so maybe that's a bad move...here goes. I'll start with a few testimonials, then get into some nuggets of my life, why we created Perfect Search, how we help marketing leaders grow, some business lessons,
concluding with my personal core values:
"My favorite middle son."
-Anonymous mom
"Entrepreneurship is like my sense of fashion in that every year I look back at the last and wonder what was I thinking."
-Ajay while wearing all black
"I care only about things that matter...I don't match socks"
-The one rule in my life
I communicate through stories: getting on 3 flights without ID, learning how to apologize from 2014-2016 when we attempted to expand into a new service offering, and having the most important meeting of my life in a NY board room result in me being sent to the ER. I am very transparent. Last year I rented out my condo in Chicago and gave away all my material possessions to test being a minimalist, nomad. I’m enjoying it thus far and can help you do the same.
We founded Perfect Search after seeing the impact of creating what we considered a "perfect" google ads account for Fansedge. In October of 2007 while there we leveraged a database technology to restructure our account from 800,000 keywords to 5 million. In 2 weeks FansEdge's run-rate doubled from $25mill to $50mill. We launched Perfect Search in 2010 after building a proprietary technology that can re-create this experience for other companies with tight tech budgets.
Today we help marketing leaders grow through:
-Performance (SEO, PPC, UI/UX)
-Talent & Recruiting
-Operating Process & Strategy
-Self, both personal and professional
Looking back on the past 10 years I have learned a ton including simple lessons that may be obvious to others. Hire the best people; invest in a strong culture; create a plan and vision while understanding it will change. Always be grateful and positive. My goals are to always focus on my education and my relationships.
I am fortunate to get published for topics including happiness, positivity, and teamwork. One post that is significant in my life evaluates death bed regrets and allowed me to formulate my personal core values. They are:
1. gratitude
2. friends and family
3. do and experience more
4. help others
5. positive health and wellness |

I'm Akash. Oak Narwana is my family’s and my investment vehicle.
🕵🏼 I spend my time searching for early stage ideas to invest in, and have a few ongoing property projects.
💹 Up until 2019 I worked at a convexity-focussed [hedge fund](https://portmansquarecapital.com/inner.htm) that I helped setup, running an exotic FX & Equity Volatility book.
🎓 Back in 2005 (!) I graduated with an [MEng](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/courses/electrical-engineering-department/electrical-and-electronic-engineering-meng/) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Imperial College.
🏡 I live in London 🇬🇧, childhood spent in 🇸🇦. My parents are from 🇮🇳, my wife from 🇰🇷. 🙏
Since 2013 I've directly invested in 70+ (mainly UK based) startups, usually their first funding round. Sometimes I’m the first cheque. |

Scaling a service company is hard. It would be much easier if every physician and every practice was on the same EMR, had the same processes, and were interested in the same metrics. But there is a reason why you are in private practice: autonomy. You want what you want, and ALNwill deliver. If your practice is cookie cutter go with AthenaHealth. If you are not looking to conform, want impactful insights into your data, a team you can trust, and white glove service ALN is the right fit for you. |

My name is Alan, and I am a geographer. Lately, most of my time has been spent evaluating startups and advising founders. You can find me on Twitter and GitHub. Reprints of my scientific publications can be found at ResearchGate, or by emailing me directly.
Alan Glennon is a computational geographer and entrepreneur. He earned his PhD in 2013 at the UCSB Department of Geography under Michael Goodchild investigating spatial computation and geographically embedded networks. Alan has worked with and studied networks in geography for over two decades, starting with field research to map cave and karst watersheds. This initial interest in caves led him to Western Kentucky University where he earned a Master of Science in Geoscience. Concurrently, he worked as a naturalist at Mammoth Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and Great Basin National Park.
In 1999, Glennon co-founded and worked as assistant director for the WKU Hoffman Environmental Research Institute, a laboratory dedicated to applied research on human interaction with karst landscapes. Later, in 2008 when Mike Goodchild founded UCSB's Center for Spatial Studies, Glennon worked as the center's first graduate researcher--developing a spatial lunch series, numerous software workshops, a weekly help desk, and its lightning talks event. From 2015 to 2017, Glennon was co-founder of transportation logistics software company Arogi. Glennon and his wife Rhonda live near San Francisco.
I invest in super-early high-growth potential, technology-enabled startups. My investments tend to be in companies that: have discovered something unexpected in a market or are experimenting with new business methods. Any industry is fine, but as a former park ranger, natural resource mining companies are not interesting to me.
Anyone. If you are the type of person or people that Silicon Valley underestimates, I especially want to hear about what you are building. My last seven investments average 2.1 founders per company, and six of seven have a woman founder. They are all working full-time, exclusively on their startup. |

I've been in internet marketing for 10yrs one way or another and it's a kick arse job. I also really love being out on the river in the early morning rowing, it's just awesome to glide over flat calm water, pushing the boat along with your team mates, the blades just gliding above the water and bubbles streaming under the boat as the sun comes up. Even if I don't win another race I will never, ever tire of that feeling and experience.
In my spare time I also really enjoy making paper airplanes and have been doing that for the best part of 20yrs. I have an awesome website on paper airplanes at http://www.paperairplanes.co.uk and a paper airplanes book experiment going on right now at http://www.alexschultz.co.uk/paperairplanes where I hope everyone will help me write the best ever paper airplanes book.
Over the last 2 yrs I have been thinking a lot about APIs and webservices and having a great deal of fun playing with them and this website is all about sharing the knowledge I have gained through working on my personal websites, SEO consultancy, web developement and api programming. I am hoping I have some valuable stuff to share! |

Alex joined Scale in 2013 as a Principal, responsible for sourcing investments in DroneDeploy and Forter. A Partner since 2017, Alex has focused on early investments in vertical software markets where incumbents have failed to invest in advanced technology offerings. That thesis has led to investments in KeepTruckin (2017), Root Insurance (2018), Scout RFP (2019), Proxy (2020), Spruce (2020), Proscia (2020) and Archipelago (2021). KeepTruckin has been one of the fastest growing SaaS companies of all time; Scout RFP was acquired by Workday in late 2019 for $540M; and Root completed its IPO in late 2020.
Alex sits on the Board of Directors of KeepTruckin, Proxy, Spruce, Proscia, and Archipelago. He has written about SaaS in TechCrunch and been profiled by Business Insider, Forbes, and Silicon Valley Business Journal. |

“When you meet a great founder or team, don’t overthink it. Most people are driven by the whims of the market, but the best founders can move the market and shape the world to look more like what they envision”
While growing up in Silicon Valley and studying at Stanford, I learned how important it is to surround oneself with intellectually curious people who are constantly questioning and challenging the status quo. This is why I love talking to entrepreneurs who can pick apart industries, question the way things are, and dream how things should and might be.
I started my career at Morgan Stanley, where I learned to analyze businesses. In 2012, I joined the growth-stage investing team at Kleiner Perkins. During my time there, the platform shift to mobile internet was happening rapidly, and I was able to help create and publish the annual Internet Trends reports that chronicled its evolution. I also had the privilege to watch companies go through their critical phases of growth and eventually redefine their industries. From this, I came to appreciate that great founders and teams with strong product instincts have the ability to make the world look more like what they envision, even when they are solving some of the toughest problems.
In 2017, I took a year off to travel around the world. Most of the world’s growth has shifted East and is being driven by economies outside of North America. I wanted to see this firsthand. I met with entrepreneurs, journalists, government officials, and everyday people to get a basic sense of the local economy. Global technology investing gets me excited for a few reasons. First, there’s much to learn from the billions of “new” internet users who have onboarded via mobile phones. They are pushing the envelope on new modes of human-computer interaction. Secondly, as industries in emerging economies develop and mature, they sometimes get to ask, “How can we do this better?” The pockets of leapfrogging that happen can give us a glimpse into the future.
At General Catalyst, I am excited to meet teams solving problems in big markets no matter where in the world they are located. I work closely with Monzo in the UK and CRED in India, for example. I am especially excited about the potential for technology to influence the development of sectors like commerce, financial services, and healthcare. If you’re a founder with a great idea, I’d love to get on a plane to come meet you.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, playing board games, reading, and occasionally wandering a little too far from home. |

Allen Lau is a visionary serial entrepreneur, a leader in Canada’s tech community, and a sought-after speaker and authoritative voice on entrepreneurship, the innovation economy, and the benefits of a diverse workforce.
As the CEO and co-founder of Toronto-based Wattpad, a global multi-platform entertainment company for original stories and leading social storytelling platform, Allen leads an international team with the inspiring vision to leverage groundbreaking technology to fundamentally disrupt the entertainment industry while empowering diverse voices.
Wattpad raised USD $120 million from top VCs in Silicon Valley, New York, Canada, and Asia. In 2021, the company was acquired by Naver, the South Korean internet conglomerate, in a transaction valued at more than USD $600 million.
Because of Allen’s leadership and vision, today Wattpad is home to a community of over 90 million people who have written more than a billion uploads on the platform. Thousands of Wattpad stories have been adapted for other platforms and gone on to become blockbuster movies and #1 Netflix hits, emmy-nominated television series, and bestselling books around the world.
In 2021 Allen was invited to sit on the board of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), a cultural organization with a mission to transform the way people see the world through film. As a board member, Allen will offer his unique perspective and experiences to support and advance TIFF’s mission.
Allen champions the interest of Canadian technology companies at all levels of government as a member of Canadian Council of Innovators. He consults on legislation and practices to spur innovation and support the growth of the technology sector. Allen is regularly quoted by the media about the benefits of launching and scaling an internet-based company in Canada.
Allen has a keen ability for spotting the next big thing. He is the co-founder of Two Small Fish Ventures, a fund that invests in early stage internet companies with strong network effects. Two Small Fish Ventures’ portfolio includes Bitstrips, commonly known as Bitmoji (acquired by Snapchat for $100 million), Skip the Dishes (acquired by Just Eat for $200 million), and Ada, an AI startup valued at over US$1.2 billion.
Allen has commanded the stage at several notable events, including: the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival, the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference, the Business Insider Global Trends Festival, Collision Conference, WIRED Business Conference, and APOS. Twice named one of the Top 50 Most Influential People by Toronto Life, Allen has also been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Canada’s prestigious Report on Business Magazine, among other publications. Under his leadership, Wattpad has twice been named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies. In 2020, Allen was inducted into the Engineering Alumni Hall of Distinction of the University of Toronto.

I am an experienced investor, entrepreneur, mentor, connector, and strategist who has worked in, helped found, or advised dozens of companies in the USA, Bermuda, Ireland, the Nordic-Baltic region, and particularly my ancestral home of Estonia.
Although I started as a journalist (I still love to write!) covering banking, general financial services, and fintech, I soon moved into the investment area, and have stayed there ever since. I love helping companies figure out a better – whether faster, less expensive, less risky, more efficient, more attractive – way to do what they do, generally with technology and financing. I did as a portfolio manager this for many years on behalf of other investors, and then decided to do so on my own.
I now have the pleasure of serving as the bridge for capital and innovation between my two homes of Estonia (ancestral) and the US (native) as Director of US Investment and Trade with Estonia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, based at the Embassy of Estonia in Washington, DC.
I focus on:
- Connecting North American investors to the Estonian investment ecosystem via hosting investor delegations to Estonia, North American seminars, webinars, etc.
- Sourcing Estonian goods and services for North American companies
- Bringing the best of Estonia’s e-government innovations to the US
- Helping Estonian companies enter the US market.
I am very happy to connect if we have met, emailed, or chatted before. So, please feel free to reach out either here or via alvar@alumni.virginia.edu to set up a time to speak. |

I like to think of learning as a series of journeys. Those journeys have starting points which could be an interest “I love penguins!”, inspiration “I have an idea for a rocketship”, goal “I want to be a doctor” or challenge “my math skill is holding me back”. The journeys needn’t have fixed end points and some legs may be slow meandering explorations, others straight-line sprints.
An ideal education system would meet a learner wherever they are and help them get to where they want to go next, using their preferred means of “transport” and on their schedule. Schools are like intercity railroads linking the major hubs. They should be complemented by a huge network of roads and vehicles since few journeys just go from hub to hub.
Outschool is building that network to complement schools. We aim to fill the first miles of motivation and pre-requisite skills and the last miles to achieve a goal, get a job, finish a project, or get to a natural closure of a motivation or interest. We want fill in all the middle miles of possible journeys and schedules. We want to be every kid’s second school.
Could we build an education system that helps any learner on any journey? An analogy to modern transport makes me think we can. Our first vehicle type is small-group classes that meet over video chat. Teachers create the learning journeys they’re excited to share. Together, we’re filling in many missing miles in education. |

Amol cofounded startups including Virgin Mobile USA, Peek, Halo Neuroscience, Knotel, Popular Change and built a building in New York called East of East. He studied cognitive science for his Ph.D. at Stanford with undergraduate degree from Columbia. He teaches at Columbia. He is a backer, advisor, and mentor at 50+ companies.
Longer:
Dr. Amol Sarva is an American technology entrepreneur who cofounded companies including Popular Change, Knotel and Virgin Mobile.
Since 2021, he has led Popular Change, a company builder, that has been part of creating Aikito (turnkey commercial real estate, backed by Northzone), CornerUP (b2b marketplace for local commerce, backed by Tiger), Ratio21 (digital-first replacement for high school, backed by Bloomberg Beta), and Dinara (crypto commercial bank, cofounded by Silicon Valley Bank).
In March 2021, Newmark acquired Knotel, which he cofounded in January 2016. Knotel was one of the largest flexible office providers in the world with hundreds of locations in 10 countries and nearly $400mm of revenue run rate, valued as a unicorn by venture investors including Norwest and Wafra (Kuwait).
He helped develop a neurostimulation technology that boosts brain function, through the company Halo Neuroscience. Halo was backed by Lux Capital, Jazz Venture Partners, and Andreessen Horowitz, before being acquired in 2021 by Flow Neuroscience.
Amol founded Knotable, a collaborative notes app for teams, with Edward Shenderovich of Kite Ventures and backing from Bloomberg Beta and 500 Startups.
He has been an advisor to: Plethora, a modern factory for getting metal parts faster; Fon, the world's largest wifi network; Payfone (mobile payments); Work Market (platform for labor resources, acquired by ADP); and Ouya (open source game console, acquired by Razer).
Amol joined the adjunct faculty at Columbia University in 2016, teaching Venturing to Change the World and its advanced course Making History through Venturing to the College undergrads each year.
Amol's been a mentor to several Techstars accelerators, NYC Seed, Jazz Human Performance Venture Partners, and the Columbia University startup programs.
Through his family angel fund Sarva, Sarva, Sarva & Sarva he is involved in ~50 startups ranging from electric bikes to kids clothing to key robots and food delivery. He's been named one of the top angels in NYC by AlleyWatch and to Business Insider's SAI100 list multiple times.
In 2007, Amol co-founded Peek as its CEO through worldwide product launches and raised over $25 million from top venture capital firms including RRE Ventures and Bharti SoftBank (which acquired it in 2012 to scale Hike to 500MM monthly users as of 2016).
Peek pioneered the mass market smartphone -- a $30 Internet and email gadget that won awards and honors from a litany of global critics: Time ("Gadget of the Year"), The New York Times ("Simple and chic"), The Wall Street Journal, Wired ("#1 Gadget"), BusinessWeek ("Design Award Winner"), ID Magazine ("Annual Design Award"), IDSA, Engadget, Oprah's O Magazine ("Favorite Things"), USA Today, NBC's Today Show, ABC's Good Morning America, ABC's This Week, NPR, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, and many more. Major retailers from Target, Radio Shack, and Amazon to QVC, Wired's Pop Up Shop and Skymall all featured the product. Peek's cloud and software technology was built into hardware designs from much larger global players like ZTE and Micromax, and its leading customers use the Peek platform to deploy smartphone apps onto the widest range of smart and featurephones.
In 2007, Amol testified in front of the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Senate advocating open access in wireless spectrum policy. He gave oral testimony before Senator Ted Stevens ("The Internet is a series of tubes"). He was profiled on C-SPAN and has written on behalf of the Wireless Founders Coalition for Innovation, and served as adviser to greenfield network startup Frontline Wireless. The FCC eventually backed rules requiring open access that govern the C-Block today. In 2009, Amol was part of protesting the AT&T/T-Mobile merger, eventually blocked by the FTC.
He's an original member of the Founders' Roundtable in New York, a group of 500+ venture-backed startup founders that has met monthly since 2006, and has touched dozens of VC-backed startups and many of the top founders in NYC. He has been named multiple times to the Silicon Alley 100 list of top New York entrepreneurs. He is a mentor for the NYC Seed venture capital fund's SeedStart program.
Amol was cofounder of Blue Mobile, Digicel Group and Denis O'Brien's effort to create a simple prepaid wireless offering in the US, where he led partnerships with Verizon and Wal-Mart. He was an engagement manager at McKinsey & Company in New York.
As the second employee of Virgin Mobile USA in San Francisco in January 2000, Amol was part of the founding team. He helped build the model, design the data features, and raise the money from Richard Branson's Virgin Management and Sprint PCS. Virgin Mobile later went public on NASDAQ, was acquired by Sprint, and then in turn by Softbank.
Amol's Ph.D. is from Stanford University (dissertation: The Concept of Modularity in Cognitive Science, advisor: Mark Crimmins) and B.A. is from Columbia University (Economics, advisor: Sidney Morgenbesser; Philosophy, advisor: Akeel Bilgrami). He is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School in New York, where he was a city, state and national champion in debate and team captain.
In Long Island City, Queens, he is the builder of an architecturally distinctive 9-story, 13-loft residential building that the New York Daily News architecture critic in 2010 called "the most important new building in the borough" -- East of East.
He is also the creator of the popular neighborhood blog LICNYC.com since 2002, and a cool rooftop sign that people liked.
He has a photograph in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection, and collaborated on a work with the painter Tom Sanford in the collection of the museum of art at Syracuse University.
He has contributed writings to Fortune, Huffington Post, Alley Insider, Salon, Strategy & Business, and BusinessWeek. |

Innovation marketing executive focused on emerging, high-growth companies and corporate brand teams looking to elevate marketing efforts to the next level.
Ana started her career in corporate communications at one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious, female-led agencies delivering storytelling initiatives for top technology companies and VC-backed startups.
After taking a shot at building her own startup in media and technology, she spent five years in Los Angeles working alongside media and early stage darlings bringing creative storytelling inside social, content and digital marketing to move a company's position from steady or falling to exceeding KPIs (customer acquisition, revenues, user downloads, brand awareness, new investor/partner relationships).
Ana’s core is designing a brand's position and message platform to reach their north star - who they are, why do they exist, how do they do it. She maps those pillars to the holy grail of product-market fit and extends it through the customer journey.
She gets down in the weeds with performance campaigns and content to delight audiences and trigger engagement. And she seeks out brand partnerships that build community and stronger awareness.
The goal with all her companies is taking the customer experience and creating a deep connection through the power of brand. It's about mapping experience to the journey and going after incremental results and greater LTV.
Her approach is a combination of analytics and intuition to thoughtfully move through strategies and collaborate with product and engineering teams to create a marketing engine.

I grew up in India, where your circumstances at birth can often define your prospects in life. So when I read Only the Paranoid Survive, Andy Grove’s 1999 memoir about leading Intel, I knew I had to find a way to Silicon Valley – a meritocracy where immigrants could change the world. I threw myself into electrical engineering at Stanford and founded a software company just as the dot-com bubble burst. The company survived the tech crash and was acquired, but adversity taught me that founders need the most support when they are struggling, not just when they are succeeding.
Even as the world evolves and Silicon Valley now moves to the cloud, that became one of my keystone principles as a seed investor in more than 80 startups across consumer and enterprise. As a company builder and investor, I am committed to a sense of long term partnership and to getting 1% better everyday. These values have helped keep my feet on the ground even when the products I built reached tens of millions of users globally – more than a billion in the case of Facebook Messenger.
Joining General Catalyst combines my experience, values and passions. As the former CPO at Five9, Bharti Airtel and Snapdeal and a board member of Future Group India, I am imbued with the culture, mindset, and investing opportunities both focused on Indian consumers as well as those built in India for the world. General Catalyst’s founder-driven approach matches my own experience, and its mission of investing in powerful, positive change that endures is vital for a world that urgently needs solutions for healthcare, climate change, and social equity. I’m also truly excited to help the next generation of internet-era founders build beyond what the first generations were able to create.
My free time is devoted to being a #girldad to our young daughter, and to supporting organizations that advance education for children and young adults; I believe one of the greatest investments we can do for our underserved communities is to educate their future leaders and innovators today. |

Product-first, business athlete. Enjoy working with founders in 0->1 situations trying to figure out existential product-market fit challenges. Can help drive growth, solve gnarly strategy & execution problems, scale an organization, and build products that people love.
Currently, I lead FRL’s efforts to incubate the third-party VR & AR content ecosystem for non-games including productivity, collaboration, meetings, creative & design tools and business apps. Before FRL, I helped launch Facebook’s first productivity and collaboration platform for businesses-Workplace (5M+ paying users). After graduating from MIT, I co-founded a Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz funded startup, which was acquired in 2014. Before Facebook, I led merchant Partnerships at Postmates, where I helped grow the business to $1 Billion GMV and helped launch Postmates Plus (lower priced deliveries) and Postmates Unlimited (like Amazon Prime but for all retailers on Postmates).
When not working, I spend time playing running, playing tennis, watching Japanese movies and hanging out with my six year old son.
If you are a founder looking for a thought partner to think through growth challenges with AR/VR, Developer Platforms, Consumer marketplace, Enterprise SaaS, send me your questions. |

Andres Hurtado Rangel is a technology entrepreneur recognized for developing successful international businesses from Miami, Florida, and for his forward-thinking, innovative and collaborative approach to business.
In 1998, Andres became a professor of technology and innovation and as a Microsoft Certified Trainer, he founded his first consulting firm. During the past 20-plus years, Andres has owned firms in Information Technology, real estate development, business process outsourcing, call/contact centers, digital media, training academies, and cloud service providers, and has been a pioneer in the IT cybersecurity management services model that is geographically distributed and regionalized with the cloud, resulting in a hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure. This model has become critical to meeting today’s digital engagement and business exchange expectations.
As an entrepreneur, Andres successfully exited two tech businesses, and has been an advisor and angel investor for early-stage startups. Importantly, he has also failed in many other ventures. With his experience and his extensive tech-background, Andres has supported many startups, incubating and accelerating them from Miami to the world.
As for the future, Andres plans to continue to grow and expand his businesses. More importantly, he plans to develop innovative, progressive, and collaborative ways to reach as many people and businesses as possible and help them succeed in today’s global digital economy.

*** Startups looking for investment: please go to www.dreamit.com and read up on how and in what kinds of startups we invest before reaching out. If you feel that you are a fit for Dreamit, please contact me at andrew@dreamit.com rather than via LinkedIn. ***
TIP: The closest thing VC has to a mantra is "don't make me think" so if you do reach out to me, please take 2-3 sentences to concisely explain what you think we can do for each other. Generic messages like "I'd like to add you to my network" or "We have many connections in common" are a great way to get lost in the crowd.
A bit about me:
I have over a decade of startup investing and over 70 investments. Initially a generalist, then specialized in Edtech, currently investing in Proptech & Construction tech. Always eager to embrace new opportunities.
I believe in process. Dreamit's Customer Sprint and Investor Sprint programs are designed to help Dreamit portfolio companies raise funds and close sales far more effectively than informal, ad hoc introductions. As I have launched industry verticals for Dreamit, I have built the broad networks of hundreds of venture investors and potential customer partners to support these processes.
Conversely, working closely with dozens of corporate innovation groups and CVCs has given me unique visibility into and insight on which strategies are most effective ways to source external and to promote internal innovation.
I also believe in maintaining a strong personal platform. I regularly write for startup and trade press with well over 50 published articles in Fortune, Forbes, AlleyWatch, Propmodo, CREtech, BUILDER Online, Multifamily Executive, Architect Magazine, Edsurge, The 74 Million, etc. and I am a frequent conference speaker & panelist throughout the US & abroad (e.g., S. Korea, Poland, Canada). |

Andrew Boszhardt is an actor, writer and producer. “Pitch Boys,” a coming-of-age comedy that he wrote, produced, and starred in, premiered in a sold-out NYC theatre in January 2020 and can be seen here.
He has one film in production and two in pre-production. Andrew will act in and executive produce “Cape Carl,” an indie family drama that shoots in Hyannis Port this September.
“Bandkids,” a coming-of-age story about an aspiring rapper from a broken home who goes on a journey of self-discovery while touring with a crew of famous Soundcloud rappers, shoots in Austin, Texas this November. He is an executive producer on that project.
Finally, “Breed of Greed,” a satirical horror film that he co-wrote with Otto Eckstein will shoot this upcoming winter. It’s being produced by Roar Entertainment and Ralph Hemecker (Blue Bloods, Once Upon a Time, The Flash) will direct the picture. It’s best described as a mix of “Succession and The Shining.” Andrew is playing one of the leads in that film and executive producing it as well.
He’s currently repped by Jenevieve Brewer.
Outside of acting, he’s a guitarist/ singer and remains very involved in the Venture Capital, via his father’s fund Great Oaks VC. He also loves tennis, squash, and singing any Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin song. |

In 1985, I starting my first business aged 15, selling concert tickets and trips. In 1999, I founded one of the UK's first digital publishing businesses & first vertical ad-network in the UK, Net Communities, and in 2015 sold it to Future plc. I also founded the UK's first Podcast production company in 2005.
Frustrated with ad quality, transparency and brand safety online, I co-founded award-winning viewability technology provider OnScroll in 2013, which after tremendous growth, we sold to Sovrn Holdings, Inc. in April 2016, where I worked until May 2019.
A technology and gadget enthusiast at heart, my first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 in 1981, today I love studying, learning about and working with new technologies.
I've worked on all sides of the media industry from print/digital publishing, ad agency and most recently, in ad tech and have worked with many of the world’s leading global brands.
I now use the knowledge I've gained to advise, mentor and invest in all kinds of digital businesses. |

I'm grateful to have played early roles in companies like Facebook, Twitter, Quora and Wealthfront. In my time at those companies I held a variety of roles spanning Growth, Product, and Executive Leadership. Right now, I’m a Partner at Unusual Ventures where I focus on investing in early-stage consumer and fintech startups.
Along the way I’ve also advised and/or invested in companies such as Robinhood, Webflow, Blue Bottle Coffee, Opendoor, and Poshmark.
I created this website so that I can share my experiential knowledge having been fortunate enough to be a part of many great companies. That way, the next generation of operators, entrepreneurs, and investors might benefit from the collective knowledge that I benefited from throughout my career.

Education and global experience have made me the free and independent person I am today. I always say that I never want to stop learning, because the day I do, I will stop growing as a person. It’s so important to travel and meet people and expand our horizons. Without either, we will never be able to tap into the infinite opportunities out there. I have been extremely fortunate to have lived across the world since childhood, having lived and studied across US, UK and Asia. This has not only made me an independent person but also sensitive to different cultures and people. It allowed me to see the way world works and how we can all make an impact with our experiences and education. My diverse experiences have allowed me to think how I can impact those around me. Having lived in Asia, and being witness to the widening income inequality, the contrast between urban and rural, makes you think of frugal innovation. Makes you think of what an immense impact new technology can make in the field of education, work, finance and healthcare.
I love my work and I love my family. As a mother and reflecting on my adolescence, I realize how a mother believes in you, supports you and helps you embrace your strengths and weaknesses as you build the determination to move forward. It’s so nice to have been inspired by the way my father has led an exciting and successful journey. I have grown up among dreamers, my brother, the avid footballer and sportsman and my sister, the multitalented social media queen, who are like my children, my lifelines and who are my go-to buddies for everything. For a women, it’s so important to have a loving and supportive family. My extremely supportive and passionate husband, inspires me every day to take more risk and achieve more. All of this comes together so beautifully as I think of my little bundle of joy, Aveer, for whom I want to touch the stars and bring the moon and make everything colorful, like a rainbow.
My private equity and venture capital career took me across the globe, starting with Aureos Capital in London, before I took the mantle of managing the Vashistha global family office – Tholons Capital, based out of San Jose, California. Along the way I met amazing women who were investors, founders, creators and mothers. I learnt from their commitment to execute their ambitious visions and the tenacity and skill with which they navigated and executed challenges. I wanted more women to participate as entrepreneurs and investors, giving me the opportunity to participate in their journeys to change the world. I was fortunate to have amazing global women leaders who inspired me to launch the first women entrepreneurship fund (Saha Fund) and were my early believers. Saha Fund, was the first venture capital fund globally to invest in women entrepreneurship, to provide capital, networks and support to female founders and all companies that are working to create a thriving ecosystem for women to participate as economic contributors. |

Healthcare innovator with with 15+ years of experience. Have scaled multiple ideas from zero to commercialization, and have worked with many of largest healthcare industry players on major strategy & operational issues including the creation of the 3rd largest US health insurer and a 4-way health system integration.
Currently working on building a better maternal care model for a new generation of American mothers.
Previously was a founding executive at Burd Health, building the next generation of health benefits for self-insured employers including full-stack pharmacy cost solutions, and early cancer detection & management at-scale. The company was founded by Steve Burd, former CEO of Safeway who was nationally recognized for improving the company's costs & baseline employee health. In my role, I led the commercialization of data insights into client-ready solutions, and all go-to-market functions.
Prior to Burd Health, I was a Principal at Booz & Company where I led complex engagements with National & Blue health plans as well as large health systems in the areas of strategy, M&A, cost reduction, and large-scale organizational change.
The combination of these experiences have left me with a 360 degree view of the healthcare system -- how we deliver care, how we pay for it, and where its broken.
Aside from my professional work, I advise VCs on healthcare investments and startups on go-to-market issues. I also work with health non-profits on strategy, organization & fundraising issues. |

Ever since I joined my first startup in 1996, I’ve enjoyed working with small, driven teams, helping to transform cutting edge technologies into real businesses. My first two startups revolutionized fiber-optic telecommunications, resulting in two acquisitions among the top 10 largest VC-backed M&A deals of all time. After the .com crash, I shifted my sights to consumer internet and started one of the world’s first social networks, hi5.com, which grew to 60M MAU. Later in my career I followed the explosion of smart phones to found an app discover site that organically attracted 15M installs.
Beyond my life as an operator, I was an active investor and mentor including serving as President of Sand Hill Angels in Palo Alto, CA. I’ve long recognized that good advice and mentorship are both more rare and precious than capital. That led me in 2017 to join Enjoy The Work as a Managing Director and Partner. |

Over the last 30 years, I have worked for 4 amazing high-growth companies – PayPal, Box, LinkedIn, and eBay. Though they have spanned different domains and vastly different sizes, I have accomplished the same things at each one but in quite diverse ways – scaled people, process, and technology. All of this has been in service of both the employees and business outcomes.
I thrive on working with smart people across many different disciplines to analyze, discuss, and ruthlessly execute to deliver results. My passion for people, business, and technology has allowed me to collaborate in developing and delivering comprehensive products that have a great impact on businesses of any size.
I know that for any company to survive and thrive, it needs to continually transform while keeping or creating a compelling culture. I enjoy providing C-suite executives, Board members w/ context and suggestions that allows them to maximize their respective opportunities. I do this while diminishing execution risk or failure at any level of scale.
Taking an outside-in approach to business problems allow me to engage deeply with a CMO, Sales Leader, or CTO at the same time. These business opportunities and transformations generally span multiple areas of a company at any size and I enjoy connecting them together as a multiplier for better outcomes.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and participating in sports like biking and snowboarding. |

Over the past decade, I’ve been a founder and angel investor in retail, hospitality and B2B technology startups. In my current role as an operationally heavy CFO at SwagUp I’ve been instrumental in building all the finance and business operation functions from scratch. I pride myself on high level strategic execution with tactical precision. My departments are lean with exponential output and high levels of sustainability. Anti-fragility is a superpower I’ve developed while growing 2 orgs through two recessions. There hasn’t been a market condition that I haven’t been able to adapt to and turn to my advantage.
My secret is hiring based on character and hustle, not just hard skill. That’s how I consistently build, manage, and motivate high-performing teams and companies. |

Asheem joined Greylock in 2003. He has been an investor and board director with over 20 technology companies, including three public companies and numerous that have been acquired in strong M&A outcomes. He has been a founding investor in multiple companies, including Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), AppDynamics (acquired by Cisco for $3.85B), Sumo Logic (Nasdaq: SUMO) and others.
“The greatest reward of this work is collaborating with teams that are mission-oriented and strive for excellence in everything they do: company culture, team-building, product, go-to-market and providing customers with something new that was previously impossible.”
Asheem currently serves on the company boards at Abnormal Security, Awake Security, Delphix, Innovium, Neeva, Obsidian Security, Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and Rubrik.
Asheem’s career is marked by interest and growing expertise in enterprise markets, products and company building. He has helped create and grow multiple businesses to market-leading positions – both as a venture capitalist (2003 – present), and previously at high-growth companies (1988 – 2002).
“It’s a privilege to be able to work closely with entrepreneurs to achieve product market fit and rapidly scale.”
Before arriving at Greylock, Asheem held product management, marketing, and business development leadership positions at Check Point Software and CoroNet Systems (acquired by Compuware). During his Check Point tenure, the company grew from $10M to $500M+ in annual revenues. Asheem began his career in product and marketing roles at AT&T Bell Laboratories and SynOptics/Bay Networks.
Asheem’s prior company investments and/or company boards include Aquantia (MRVL), Arista Networks (ANET), Aruba Networks (HPE), Avi Networks (VMW), CipherTrust (McAfee), Imperva (Thoma Bravo), NetBoost (INTC), PortAuthority Technologies (Forcepoint), Securent (CSCO), Sourcefire (CSCO), Skyhigh Networks (McAfee), Sumo Logic, TechProcess (Ingenico), Xsigo Systems (ORCL), and Zenprise (CTXS).
He has been included in the Forbes Midas List since 2012, and the New York Times / CB Insights top venture capitalists list since inception in 2016. Born and raised in India, Asheem holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
Asheem led Greylock’s Series A investment in Skyhigh Networks. A brief flashback in Asheem’s words:
“It was a Friday night in a windowless San Jose conference room in early 2013. The RSA trade show would open on Monday in San Francisco. Rajiv Gupta, the visionary indefatigable founder of the fledgling startup Skyhigh Networks, knew he had a breakthrough approach to cloud security. But the articulation wasn’t clear and so I tried a dose of reality. ‘The product is early. We have no messaging, no VP of marketing, no website. We’re not ready.’”
“It was a tough message – especially as midnight approached. But I had been working with early-stage companies for many years at Greylock, and I felt my role at this moment was simply to be candid. Rajiv listened, but he wanted to keep brainstorming. Soon we found ourselves, side-by-side in front of the white board. We started trying out key messages, crafting use cases, wordsmithing clearer definitions and a picture began to emerge. Burmese food had been ordered in, but it remained largely untouched as we took turns scribbling, diagraming, and testing one another’s ideas. Suddenly Rajiv stepped back from the whiteboard and said to me: ‘We don’t just have a company launch here. We are inventing a new product category.’”
“By noon Tuesday, the Skyhigh Networks booth at RSA was mobbed. Gartner would soon christen Rajiv’s concept as ‘Cloud Access Security Broker.’ CASB was launched.” |

MANA is led by Bá Minuzzi, a self made entrepreneur, humanitarian and fearless venture capitalist who cares about people, humanity, technology and purpose - not just profit.
Ba is tirelessly lifting up entrepreneurial folks and empowering them to achieve the unthinkable. Bá has shaped her investment perspective by being fully committed to her career for the past decade and venturing in different investment areas. She is a former real-estate entrepreneur and financial advisor to ultra high-net-worth families. She has single-handedly raised over $250M for real estate and high tech companies, in both Latin America and the United States, and manages over $250M in assets.
Bá is the 1st Latina to be founder and sole GP (decision-maker) of a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. Only 11% of decision-makers (partners) at VC firms are women in the U.S. Black women make up 1%, while LatinX women represent 0%. It’s not by coincidence that Bá has been lauded for "breaking all the rules" and "rocking male-dominated Silicon Valley" by various mainstream publications.
What does wealth mean to you?
WEALTH: REDEFINED. This is what it's all about. It's not about money by itself - it's about freedom, achievements, experiences, growth and doing good. Knowing who you are, what you stand for, and unapologetically claiming your abundance." |

I’m a life coach. But you can call me an executive coach. A career coach. It actually doesn’t matter what you call me. I simply help you find your life purpose. To minimize those inner critical voices. To find clarity in a big question you’re seeking to answer. To process and reflect on your life.
90% of my clients come to me with something career-related; whether it’s to find meaning in their work, to be a better leader, to gain clarity or purpose in their business, to feel fulfilled in a job that feels meaningless. And oftentimes, the conversations are split 50/50 – where only about 50% of the focus is on career and 50% is focused on everything else. Why? Because we’re not just our career. We can’t strip ourselves down to one piece of our life. What impacts our dreams impacts our day to day. What impacts our jobs also impacts our relationships. Looking at your whole life, bringing everything to the table, that’s what I’ll ask of you if you work with me.
I’m a big believer that you have agency. AND I won’t ignore the real external factors that you may be facing. Beware of coaches who only focus on having you “step into your power”; know that when you work with me, you’ll do inner work, step into your power, and we’ll acknowledge that there may be bigger factors outside of your control (e.g., structural racism, power dynamics, sexism).
Prior to coaching, I ran and successfully sold an education startup. I also co-founded Awaken, a leading provider of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion education programs. My past life includes over 15 years of experience in customer success and change management, mostly in the tech industry. You can learn more about my background on my LinkedIn profile, I’d love to get connected.
I also currently serve as a group coach for Stanford Graduate School of Business in their Women in Management program. Facilitating conversations on what’s “here and now”. I have a bachelor’s from Stanford University and am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and accredited by the International Coaching Federation (PCC).
When I’m not coaching, I love watching detective TV shows, researching skincare products, and spending time with my husband Eric and my two kids, Owen (7yo) and Stella (3yo). |

Hi! My name is Ben.
It’s taken me an awful long time to be myself. I spent many years worried about fitting in and being accepted. I always needed lots of approval, and I lived a life filled with worry and anxiety. It was exhausting.
And then in year 35 or so, something finally clicked. I decided I wanted to be myself and go my own way.
I realized that I’m a curious guy, and I wanted to create a life that I personally love.
So what you see on these pages is the result.
I love entrepreneuring, and the art of the game. I love sales, negotiation, and game theory, and making things happen. I like creative people and elegant ideas and beautiful things. I love trends and how things come to be. I want to always know what’s next.
Now that I’m 43, I’m on a mission to teach and help and share in every way possible. I realize how lucky I am to be able to share my thoughts around the world. I get to do this through podcast and videos, and more. I’m fully committed to impacting millions of lives. But I know that is done one by one on a micro level.
Hopefully I’m able to help you in some small way somewhere along the way.

> What is your focus at Sierra Ventures?
I am a Managing Partner on the Sierra Ventures Investment Team where I focus on investments in emerging applications and deep tech – everything from sensors and chips, AI and robots, to Quantum Computing.
> How did you get into Venture Capital?
I got into venture capital serendipitously. I’ve always been passionate about finding amazing technologies and using them to solve real-world problems. I loved to invent new things and started my career as an engineer. Having a PhD and being an inventor and engineer in the 90’s, my heart was set on the entrepreneurial path. In 1999, I was recruited by Sierra Ventures as a Venture Partner to help start new companies in my domain – telecom and networking – that Sierra would fund.
My first investment was in an optical transceiver company started by a classmate from Princeton. I spent my first year and a half at Sierra Ventures working on that one company, guiding it from inception to a successful exit 15 months later. 2001 was one of the most difficult years in venture capital and a particularly brutal year for the telecom sector. The experience from being in the trenches with the team set the foundation for my career in venture capital for how to best work with entrepreneurs as part of the team.
I love the venture capital business because of the opportunity to work with amazing founders and find new technologies to work on in a different way. Since I started at Sierra Ventures I’ve backed awesome companies like AuthenTech, InvenSense, NextInput, and many others. |

Be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi
I can best describe myself as an eternal learner and believe in the discipline of constant improvement. If I reflect on my experiences and see that I have contributed towards solving problems, learned from mistakes, grown and helped others grow from those experiences, I have succeeded.
My life philosophy is to serve my concentric circles starting with self, family, community, company, city, state, country, and the globe. My work and volunteerism reflect these circles.
I am a problem solver and a strategist at heart. I see patterns and quickly connect the dots which allows me to identify the meta-trends that can help anticipate future challenges and market opportunities.
In each endeavor I have been fortunate to work with the best to deliver results and make an impact. I get to work with some of the most talented and passionate people for which I am constantly grateful. |

I am a partner at First Round Capital. Over my career, I've been a founder, operator, advisor, angel and seed investor. I started my first two businesses as an undergrad and continued operating for the first 12 years of my career. I am now a seed investor because I love helping at the earliest stages of a business when founders go deep to understand a problem and come up with new ideas and a vision for the world as it can be. My best days are when I can collaborate with founders on idea generation as they build awesome products and services. I also love to help figure out early go to market and distribution, navigate a competitive or complex market, and coach CEO's as they scale their business.
I look for founders who have a unique insight into a market and customer that is contrarian to what everyone else thinks. I am particularly attracted to old, dusty industries that haven't been reimagined with software at the core. |

I enjoy advising and investing in startups, writing (www.bradaronson.com), and volunteering with nonprofits that serve youth. I’m writing HumanKind, a book of uplifting stories about small acts of kindness that have transformed lives and even saved them.
I started my first businesses in junior high – shoveling snow, selling iced tea at baseball games and delivering sodas to camp bunkmates who didn’t want to get caught running to the soda machine in the middle of the night.
In college, my roommate and I started a student guide business. By the time we graduated, we were employing a bunch of our fellow students and publishing guides for about a dozen colleges & universities.
In the early days of Internet marketing, I started an interactive advertising agency, i-FRONTIER. The business grew from my bedroom into one of the top rated digital agencies in the US. Clients included Universal Studios, Procter & Gamble, Discovery Channel, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, AT&T, Cadbury Adams and others.
In 2002 aQuantive purchased i-FRONTIER. After the sale, I joined their executive team. I had a number of great roles there including one launching new businesses & services.
Microsoft purchased aQuantive in 2007. I stayed at MSFT for a couple years running a business unit that generated small business leads in the US, UK and Canada.
I’m deeply involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters, and I serve as Board Chair of Hopeworks. I've volunteered as a counselor at Ronald McDonald Camp for kids with cancer & their siblings, and I've occasionally chaperoned a fabulous high school service club’s trips to build homes in El Salvador.
I co-authored Advertising on the Internet (John Wiley & Sons, 6 languages) and authored Jupiter Research's online ad report. |

Brad focuses his investing activities on enterprise application businesses and healthcare.

An equal opportunity sports nut, he remembers wistfully his days on the Williams College rugby pitch, and in a singular nod away from NYC, still clings to his childhood love for all of Boston’s sports teams. |

I am an entrepreneur, angel investor, pragmatist, and optimist. Having spent most of my career in the startup trenches, I now focus on supporting other entrepreneurs as Managing Partner of a small seed-stage venture fund: Charge Ventures. Charge is a NYC-based pre-seed/seed stage venture fund. We invest 200-500k at the earliest stages of company formation and then help founders take things from 0 to 1.
When not working directly with startups, I spread the startup gospel as an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. My teaching focuses on product strategy and entrepreneurial finance but also have a few war stories to tell, having co-founded Switch, a mobile job discovery application, and Sonar, a location-based social network. I began my career on Wall Street as an equity research associate.
In my spare time, I've been fortunate enough to write for Harvard Business review, launch a little website called Vice, found a rock band, and sail thousands of miles on a 30ft sailboat.
Let me know how I can help.

I started my career in applied mathematics (finance) before falling in love with the games industry. I'm primarily an entrepreneur with operational roles focused on platform development & design, go-to-market strategies, and recruiting engineers. I was part of a small team that grew a bootstrapped venture called GarageGames to over 100 employees, selling a majority stake to IAC in 2007 (publicly reported at $50M+). I was part of Unity ($U) at a similarly early stage, working closely with the founders to craft and execute new growth initiatives and raise venture capital before exiting the company in 2012.
Today, I'm operationally focused on R&D in decentralized finance (DeFi) for Forte in application to games and similar applications outside of games via First Foundry. I'm also an active investor focusing on fintech, game technologies, distributed computing, blockchain, machine learning, and bioinformatics.
I'm occasionally available for speaking opportunities. Brief speaker archives below...

After 10 years in investment management, 8 of which were spent building a venture fund from scratch - 2 Funds, $98M of AUM, and 51 investments - I realized I want to spend the rest of my life investing in the software and internet infrastructure that will enable and facilitate innovation in global, industrial supply chains.
Human activity is causing climate change. All human activity is driven by supply chains. We can’t solve the climate crisis until we refashion global, man-made supply chains so that they cause less harm to the environment. This will require a transformation of unprecedented scale.
That is why we are building The New York Supply Chain Meetup. That is why we are building The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation. That is why we are building REFASHIOND Ventures: to invest in the early-stage startups creating technology innovations to refashion global supply chains. We are starting completely from scratch. Email me if you want to hear more; brian@refashiond.com.
I am most content when I am thinking about and trying to solve ill-defined problems. I am abnormally enthusiastic about the research process that leads me to develop answers to such problems. I think of myself, first and foremost, as a research analyst who seeks solutions to problems; Solutions that can be implemented and scaled outside the lab.
I am curious, open-minded, and adaptable. I have an obsession for cool mechanical pencils. I never say no to a cup of coffee. I am not afraid to be different, and I embrace uncertainty.
I have only one goal on my mind: To become a trusted and well regarded investor for founders building innovative technology to refashion global supply chains.
#ResearchAllTheThings #LearnAllTheThings
#DoAllTheThings
I have been nicknamed; “The NextGen Supply Chain Tech Specialist” and “The Most Connected Man in Supply Chain” and “New York’s Supply Chain VC.” I spend every day striving to live up to those nicknames.
On November 24, 2021 I was nicknamed "The Elon Musk of Logistics Technology" by @CambCapital on Twitter. That now serves as a local maxima in terms of my personal accomplishments. (Hint: That’s a joke for my fellow math and physics nerds.)
On December 17, 2021 my partner and I were nicknamed “The Tesla of Emerging GPs” after we published a uniquely researched and thorough report on family offices and emerging VC managers (#FOinVC).

Principal and Founder of REA Worldwide, Brian began his real estate career in 1985 specializing in commercial sales. In 1990, he opened Brookshire Investments, a boutique commercial real estate office, mainly to represent retail and multi-family projects in the Chicago metropolitan area. From 1997-2007, Brian, along with his team, purchased more than $350 million in Chicago real estate, converting nearly 4,000 apartments to condos.
When the recession hit in 2007, Brian turned his attention to managing large office and mixed use commercial properties through his company RE Management. In late 2009, he was asked to conduct his first live public auction to sell bank REOs. After the success of that auction, he bought the domain “RealEstateAuctions.com” and focused on learning the auction professesion. In 2010, after two years of successful auctioning, he moved the company to Palo Alto, CA to focus on national expansion. By 2014, Brian received the coveted CAI designation (Certified Auctioneers Institute), a designation given to people that successfully achieve a three year curriculum at the Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. By 2017, REA had closed auctions in fourteen states. In early 2017, Brian and his directors, made the decision to open an acquisition division to purchase properties, rehab them and then auction them through REA. Learning from purchasing 4,000 apartments to condos, when you own the product, you have much more control of your own destiny.
Today, Brian his focused on purchasing $50M+ annually in wholesale property while recruiting acquisition directors to do the same in fifty+ locations throughout the U.S. |

My name is Brian Ma and I started Bma’s Tiger Blog in order to document and explore the fascinating nuances of life, passion, and following your dreams. Everyone of us have had dreams – things that tug at our hearts, tell us our purpose, inspire us, and give us hope. Over time, as we conform to the things of the ‘real world’, we’ve lost them, or they’ve become so dim that they no longer speak with the ferocity and fire they used to.
I graduated early from the University of Washington with a Computer Science/Electrical Engineering double degree and worked for big companies like Microsoft and Intel. Curious about startup life, I left the comforts of the large corporations and ended up at Zillow, doing Program Management with a very small, tight-knit team. That was before they had a product. After 2.5 years there, when Zillow’s growth and headcount had erupted, I found my calling to be back at where my heart originally was – at the startup. I left and founded EggSprout.com, a recruiting startup, in order to once again walk the path less traveled.
2 years into Eggsprout, realizing the lack of data was really hindering us we decided on a gigantic pivot – to shopping – where data is beyond abundant. Long story short, what was originally a small team and neat idea turned into Decide.com. $8.5 million dollars and 25+ people later, we are now on a tear to redefine and reinvent shopping. An adventure that daily inspires, delights, and challenges me.
I hope to accomplish two things with this blog:
1) To relight my fire in pursuit of dreams once forgotten
2) To enlighten and share my experiences with aspiring and current entrepreneurs

I’m a Partner at Defy, a new early-stage venture capital firm (started in 2017 with $151M fund I, and now our $262M fund II). We typically invest $3-10M as the series A lead or co-lead (sometimes a bit earlier, sometimes a bit later), and have about 25 portfolio companies across consumer, enterprise, and a bit of deep tech. We’re generalists, though I spend a lot of time on marketplaces and SaaS.
Example investments include:
* Aalto – The private real estate market; a different way to buy & sell homes.
* Novi – A B2B data platform helping consumer product companies source safer and more sustainable ingredients. Board of Directors.
* PocketSuite – Mobile tools empowering ‘solopreneurs’ to run their business all over text.
* Snapwire – Custom photos/videos marketplace helping brands (like Google, Intuit, Zagat) source unique visual content from a network of 800,000+ photographers around the world. Board of Directors.
Previously, I helped grow Eventbrite from a startup into the world’s largest event technology platform and live experiences marketplace. As Eventbrite’s first VP of Growth, CMO, and VP/GM of the company’s largest segment of revenue, played a key role scaling more than 10x globally to $300M in revenues, and through our IPO (NYSE: EB) with a nearly $3B market cap.
I served as VP & GM of Eventbrite’s self-service business/product with global revenue responsibility ($100M+ revenue line). I led a cross-functional team spanning product, engineering, analytics, marketing, finance, and others to grow our business around the world. I was also Eventbrite’s first Head/VP of Growth, and was interim CMO for six months stepping in at the request of our CEO. |

Brian Wilcove studied American History at Miami University and is now a Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist. How did this happen? After graduation, he did exactly what his mother wanted and went to work at a legal advisory firm in New York City, while contemplating law school. Imagine the life of a legal analyst in 1995, spending hours pouring over microfiche, stacks of old newspapers, and a dose of the Dewey Decimal System, all to find one piece of information. Now add in an hour and 45-minute subway commute, a curious and voracious reader, and an emerging technology hitting the mainstream. “An Introduction to HTML” and “Internet Protocols & Networking” quickly became Brian’s commuting companions. The legal firm was replaced by a bleeding-edge technology company, AOL, and that, as they say, is history.
Brian has more than 20 years of experience investing with a focus on technology companies that push the boundaries. He has had many failures and an equal number of successes. Given that 9 out of 10 startups fail, this is a pretty good track record. |

Bruce started his career in the travel industry when he founded Moguls Mountain Travel, a leading ski tour operator in the 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s. Combining his passion for skiing and the mountains with his entrepreneurial spirit, Moguls was a dream job. In 1994, Bruce “discovered” the Internet and digital marketing for travel became his next big thing.
After selling Moguls, Bruce joined Phocuswright as head of sales and marketing. It was there that he met Douglas and started collaborating together on a variety of projects, including the seminal study for the tours and activities industry, Douglas created the project, did the research and analysis and Bruce found the partners ready to step up and fund it. The rest is history, culminating in the creation of Arival. Bruce is also an active start-up advisor. |

Built a product and launched a small proptech venture in partnership with a residential construction finance company. Construction finance is where money meets general contractors, the built world, and the homes being commercially renovated all around you.
I spent the Pandemic year working with a developer company focused on Jamstack—which I absolutely love as a website and application building approach. I got them positioned in the space, recruited their top GTM partners, including the company that pioneered the term "Jamstack", and teed them up for institutional funding with over 20 VCs.
I also made a couple of new investments and helped one of my portfolio companies get acquired.
PAST...
My partner and I built one of the first No Code app building and big data management platforms which we successfully positioned in the IoT space. Very proud of our team which got us recognized as the top thought leaders with the #1 product (as voted by analysts, peers and customers). We sold that to Autodesk and helped them get it integrated into the portfolio, while also helping them launch their first developer platform and assist with ML/AI acquisitions.
PAST THAT PAST...
I was on the management teams of two ERP SaaS startups which were acquired, setup up an accelerator for a $250M venture fund and was an exec at two of the largest digital agencies, which both went public. I started my career as a management consultant to CFOs at PwC, where I was also bitten by the entrepreneur bug and built an internal controls software product for my clients. |

Bryan Stolle is a Founding Partner at Wildcat where he focuses on investments in FinTech, EdTech, quant marketing, and technology that addresses elder care. His specific areas of interest include software as a service (SaaS) and platforms that enable alternative credit, payments and insurance, as well as those that support the post K-12 educational market and the growing elder care market. Concurrently, he is a General Partner at Mohr Davidow Ventures, which he joined in 2007.
Growing up under two generations of self-made businessmen, Bryan’s work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit is deeply rooted in his youth. As a teen, he competitively raced motocross, taking on jobs delivering newspapers and making pizzas to support his racing passion. His early love of athletics has led him to view his role in venture capital as more of a coach or mentor to entrepreneurs who are embarking on a journey he’s also taken. When not at work, Bryan is a sports fan, cheering on his teams: the Texas Longhorns, Golden State Warriors and San Francisco Giants.
A serial entrepreneur, Bryan created more than $1 billion in realized liquidity for his investors as a founder. He oversaw the creation, go-to-market and market growth of product and service offerings that have achieved more than $2 billion in revenues, and has raised more than $1 billion in venture, public market and investment management capital. As founder and CEO of Agile Software (formerly, NASDAQ: AGIL), Bryan led the creation of a new category now called product lifecycle management (PLM). He led the company through a public offering and secondary offering that raised over $500 million. He executed on almost two dozen private and public M&A transactions, and steered a major strategy shift that led to the eventual acquisition of the company by Oracle.
Bryan sits on the advisory boards of University of Texas McCombs School of Business, The UT-Austin Texas Venture Labs and the Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business.
Bryan received a B.A. in Business Administration and an M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin. |

Why the early-stage focus?
The depth of the relationship that forms between a founder and lead investor when a company is in its formative stages is extremely unique and fulfilling to me. Partnering at the earliest stages grants me the opportunity to develop this bond with each founding team I work with. As it compounds with time, a high degree of trust and intellectual honesty develops. I believe this explains why the longest-tenured board member is often a founder’s first call during hard times. Being in this position absolutely increases the meaning of the work for me. It’s also the case that many tough questions a company faces must be answered well before product-market fit. What would be the fun in missing out on this leg of the journey?
You've zeroed in on enterprise cloud companies. Why?
While most of my peers were fixated on the meteoric rise of platforms like Facebook and Twitter, I developed a fascination with enterprise technology while working at Cisco. At the time, it’s impact on society felt underappreciated, and I wanted to better understand why. So much of our daily lives revolve around products and services delivered by businesses. Connecting the dots, the ability to build products that create leverage for these businesses is a profound opportunity to impact the way we live and work, which I am drawn to as both an investor and person. As software continues to devour the world, I am particularly excited by products that enable the engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers who build and scale these products and services.
Is there an emerging technology that most excites you?
Without question, deep learning and its limitless applications within large industries such as logistics, finance, healthcare and agriculture. I believe we are just scratching the surface of its ability to drive meaningful business impact, even as the field begins to question whether we are near the edge of its performance. There is something energizing about helping technology find its way outside of Silicon Valley to help fuel broad economic growth, and I think deep learning is the most promising technology in this regard that I have encountered in my career.
In school, you studied business, not engineering. How has this affected you as an investor?
While I initially felt a little insecure as an early-stage investor without an engineering background, I have come to believe it is more an asset than a liability. Having to grasp new technical concepts for the first time forces me to think from first principles and construct my own mental models. I have found this often forces me to think practically at the right times. The elegance of a new product is a beautiful thing, but it can mask a founder’s failure to answer existential questions: What problem does it really solve? Is it the best solution? What makes it enduring and differentiated over time? Answering these questions early on is key to the success of any startup, and I believe starting from first principles is the right way to go about this.
What do you look for in founders?
A handful of words come to mind: raw intellect, competitive spirit, rationality, curiosity, empathy and charisma. I believe these are attributes that dictate a founder’s ability to exercise sound judgement, persevere through difficult times, and perhaps most important, command access to talent and resources they don’t deserve at the time.
If you weren't a venture investor, what would you be doing?
Definitely something in the music industry. For a brief period, I seriously considered playing guitar full-time with a band I was a part of. While I have few regrets about the career choices I’ve made, I really miss it as a creative outlet. During my undergraduate studies, I combined my interests in music and business and worked for a talent management agency. With hindsight, trying to spot promising artists at the right time was great training for venture capital! |

Firstly I’m a life-loving human and a curious soul.
Professionally I’m a creative strategy facilitator and transformational coach, with experience working with individuals, businesses, public institutions and community organisations to build socially, environmentally and commercially valuable solutions.
Yes, I believe it’s possible to have it all.
My biggest driver is love for life, the planet and people.
I believe we are all co-responsible for our own and our shared experience, and my career - like many other purpose-driven professionals - has been led by a yearning to meaningfully contribute to the collective.
This has brought me to work as a strategist and project manager in a number of different fields and industries, including public environmental strategy, diversity and inclusion, communications and marketing, and organisational culture.
My experience in the business world and my personal challenges eventually led me to refocus my curiosity and attention from the ‘outer’ to the ‘inner’, initiating a journey to better understand the mechanics of how I/we work.
I trained in transformational coaching, which I experienced as a tremendous tool for self observation and growth.
I also started learning more from the greatest teacher of all: nature. I did so by training in permaculture design methodology, expanding my knowledge of human nature and well being in diverse philosophies, and by becoming a committed meditator.
All of this led me to adapt my work approach with both individuals and groups to encompass the principles that I have found to be the most valuable in these disciplines, the key one being radical non-judgement.
This allows me to support my partners in a personal, meaningful and empowering way to create a conscious personal and/or business strategy.
One of my biggest takeaway thus far in life is that fear and limiting beliefs are the biggest roadblocks and source of pain for many of us.
They lead us to both take ourselves too seriously, and grossly underestimate our capabilities at the same time. This holds us back from being ourselves, doing what we love, and enjoying our relationships. I feel this is tragic, and have therefore made healing fear and personal narrative a key focus of my work. |

Joint ventures- my most recent and most profound interest. I've always been the type of person that puts others before myself. This is a quality and trait that I've always had.
From my more humble years to today, I've consistently heard people say to me, "This is a dog-eat-dog world", "put yourself in front of others" and "No one really has your best interest"; however, I never really understood what that meant. In certain professions and industries that may be true, but it's not how I prefer to do things.
I was never comfortable adopting those ideologies and perspectives, so I never did. I knew that type of philosophy wasn't for me when I noticed how much joy I experienced when I assisted 2 of my clients with their first realestate investments. After helping them out, my path and purpose was very clear- what better way to give and help others than to provide them with a second source of income? That's how it started, for me.
With that said, I'm interested in helping and speaking to people who are invested in this venture (whom also have capital) find ways to plant their money where it can grow. This is something I truly enjoy and I simply do all the work just to prove my dedication to it.
Currently an Electrical Apprentice in my final year of training, I recently began extending my reach in other ventures to allow more versatility for myself and open more doors- primarily focusing on Real Estate Investing.
Now an owner of 2 properties in five months, I am constantly and consistently seeking more opportunities and growing in the Real Estate industry. |

A pioneer in contextual data analysis, Chris is featured in Jack Schwager’s “Unknown Market Wizards” as one of the world’s top performing self-directed investors. In 2006 he applied a social data arbitrage trading strategy to invest $20k in the stock market, and produced $30 million in trading profits over the following 14-year period reflecting 68% annualized portfolio returns. In 2011, he wrote the book Laughing at Wall Street: How I beat the Pros at investing, published by St. Martin Press, in which he revealed some of his strategies and insights. In 2015 Chris launched TickerTags, a social listening platform that provides institutional investors the ability to monitor the conversation around keywords pertinent to publicly traded securities and other investable assets on platforms like Twitter. Known for predicting the Brexit result in 2016, TickerTags was sold to Jefferies Financial Group. Chris is a regular public speaker on the predictive effectiveness of contextual data analysis and its role in investment research.
Beyond investing in the public markets, Chris has made a career of bringing new business concepts to market as an operational executive and one of the most active early stage investors in Texas.

Are you an Employee with a killer Business Idea? How would you like to quit your job…
…and instead “Compete” against your former Boss?
Using my money! Up to $100 Grand.
No Joke!
(Actually, you don’t even need to quit your current job.)
You see, I’m looking for between 1 and 3 people who all have a business idea that is based off of an already successful company.
In short, I’m going to invest in, start and grow a new company by modelling a company that is already in business.
Anyway, I have done this successfully many times already. Meaning, I have partnered with people I just met, started companies and sold them for huge profits. (In the millions.)
And I’m doing this again!
Accept this time, my offer is landing right in your lap?
The bad news is, I expect that I will end my offer by May 2020.
I move quick!
I’m here to invest in an idea and find a great partner(s) all at the same time!
Employees are welcome. But this is not a job. It’s Much better!
It does not matter if you have never run a business!
Your idea is what matters!
(And the cost to you will always be “ZERO.”)
So, if you’ve always wanted to start a business, and you have an idea that that needs some funding, then head straight to my site now! Cooper-Intl.com

Founder and Co-Managing Partner of Investments & Distribution. Dallas has been an active angel investor since the mid 90’s. He was the Founder and Managing Partner of several organizations. He is internationally known and locally respected amongst his peers.
Philanthropically, Dallas is a Board Member of the Nicholas Foundation, a member of the National Teen Leadership in SF, and is active in fundraising for the Children's Hospitals, College Track, and the THORN Foundation. Dallas is an advocate for technology companies and civic engagement in San Francisco, Palm Springs, Chicago, Miami & NYC. Dallas is also an advocate for immigration reform.
Building an emotional connection with an audience is what I do best. I have a passion for success and I personally believe there is nothing better than watching a company I helped build and develop grow to become a significant part of people's lives. This is true for my customers, employees and partners worldwide.
In my career, I've dedicated a great deal of research and personal energy to learning everything I can about branding. I consider this a step towards being a first-rate international business leader and community icon. Now that I have established an ideology upon which I build my business relationships, I can share my knowledge and achievements with other professionals both in my field and throughout the business community.
These concepts, among others, allow me to establish a leadership standard and a positive direction for my companies and business interests. I want what I have to offer to become a force to be reckoned with both inside and outside my market. I consider helping others to be my highest ambition, and when my customers, vendors, associates and colleagues learn how to get the most out of their budgets and how to remake themselves into dynamic, high-energy entrepreneurs, I consider it a job well done. |

In 2007 I drew my proverbial line in the sand, quit my job in corporate America, and set out to blaze my path as an entrepreneur. I quickly noticed one of the largest challenges facing business in my local area, was the shortage of quality employees. It seemed that most hiring managers struggled to find the top talent they desperately needed; and to make matters worse the major staffing companies were starting to pull away from doing business with certain companies. I instantly recognized an opportunity to grow Employment Solutions of New York, Inc with a couple of my friends (not being able to foresee the looming recession!). With no experience in the staffing industry, I set out to find out how to build a successful company. I went to 25 local employers, and asked a very simple question: "What do you expect from your staffing agency"? After reviewing 25 different responses, I came to the conclusion that each company wanted flexibility and the ability to be part of the recruiting process. So Employment Solutions developed a dynamic recruiting process that would allow our clients the ability to custom tailor each step to most closely match they way they hire. We are able to effectively apply this process to temporary, temp-to-perm, and direct hire placements. Voila! So with sticking with our dynamic process that let's clients be as involved as they want to be, and still asking that very same question, we have experienced tremendous success; measured in the number of great employees we have placed at our clients! We have grown from one little office in Elmira, NY to 11 offices throughout the U.S., and currently provide staffing and recruiting services in 28 states.
After generating over $150M in revenue over the first ten years with my first company, I decided to co-found SpinGig; which is an automated recruiting platform for the hospitality industry that essentially connects the best applicants to the best restaurants.
I am directly responsible for the governance of the Board of Directors including the development of the strategic plan of the organization that will meet the organization objectives. Additionally, I cultivate and manage strategic partnerships with external associations, media, and state and local government.
Previously, I was directly responsible for business development through new client acquisition, existing client development and company acquisition. I built a high functioning team that operated in four states in the northeast, and realized double digit growth year over year since inception. Employment Solutions believes that there is a more effective and beneficial way to recruit, hire and retain the best talent available, and we pride ourselves on sharing this process with our clients, and it just so happens that we have helped our clients find some of their best employees. |

Dan Nainan was born in Bloomington, Indiana on May 4, 1981. He graduated from Bethesda Chevy Chase High School in 1999.
As a senior engineer with Intel Corporation, Dan Nainan designed and presented highly technical demonstrations on stage with Intel Chairman Andy Grove at high-profile events all over the world. He took a comedy class to help get over the fear of public speaking at these events, at which the audiences numbered in the thousands, or sometimes in the millions on television.
The “final exam” for the comedy class was a performance at the Punchline Comedy Club in San Francisco, a performance which was a resounding success. Dan’s Intel coworkers, upon viewing the videotape, invited him to perform at a team dinner for 200 employees at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Upon seeing that performance, the organizers of Intel’s annual sales conference asked Dan to perform for 2,500 salespeople from around the world. His dead-on impressions of Andy Grove and American presidents had the audience rolling in the aisles at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning. Many in the audience thought that he had been hired as a professional comedian, in what was only his third comedy performance ever.
Over the next two years, Dan was tapped to perform at various Intel functions. At the company’s holiday party, he was introduced by Dr. Grove himself, whereupon he proceeded to mimic the Chairman’s distinctive accent and abrupt manner to the point where Mrs. Grove was crying from laughing so hard. Dan was promoted to Strategic Relations Manager for the East Coast, enabling him to move from Silicon Valley to New York City. Restless in his stationary new job and anxious to use his creative talents, he left Intel to pursue standup comedy full time.
In only his second year doing comedy, Dan won a comedy contest at the Washington, DC Improv and the chance to open for noted HBO comedian Robert Schimmel. He convinced Robert to let him perform in Robert’s Hawaii shows. Dan flew to Honolulu at his own expense, and Robert was impressed enough with Dan’s performance to invite the young comedian to tour with him as his feature act for a year. As a result, Dan performed at some of the country’s top comedy clubs, and Robert took him under his wing to teach him about the finer points of the business.
Dan was fortunate enough to be at the New York Improv (now the Broadway Comedy Club) when Canadian comic sensation Russell Peters headlined. After Russell’s performance, there was extra time available, so Dan begged to perform. Because of that one performance, Russell subsequently asked Dan to tour with him as his opening act. Dan and Russell toured the world together, performing in theaters and arenas. Dan both produced and performed in Russell’s show at the Apollo Theater in New York City.
Dan continues to tour with Russell, and the exposure has allowed Dan to headline his own shows. A 100% clean comedian, Dan has performed at charity events, corporate functions, weddings, private parties, colleges, casinos, cruise ships and at the top comedy clubs in the country. He performed for President Obama at a gala in Washington, and the president called him “Hilarious”. Dan has also performed for Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Wozniak, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Howard Dean, Tony Blair’s wife Cherie, Antonio Villaraigosa, John Tesh, Connie Sellecca, Yoko Ono, Phylicia Rashad and for many other celebrities. He as performed with noted comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Saget, Brad Garrett, Tim Conway, Jim Gaffigan and Garry Shandling.
Dan has performed all over the United States, as well as in Aruba, Canada, England, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Qatar, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and of course on multiple tours of India. He even performed on a jet chartered by Intel for the press, from Las Vegas to San Jose, during the Consumer Electronics Show.
Dan attended the 2009 inauguration of President Obama as a guest of US Congressman Mike Honda, and he also performed at three inaugural events in Washington. At one of the inaugural events, the president’s sister told him she thought his act was excellent. He also performed at the first TED conference in India, and he recently performed on the Muscular Dystrophy Association Labor Day Telethon live from Las Vegas along with Carrot Top and Penn and Teller. Dan also performed at the 2008 and 2012 Democratic National Conventions in Denver and Charlotte.
Dan has been seen on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”, the MDA Telethon, on A&E, Nickelodeon and on various television commercials. Dan also does character voices on radio stations all over America, and is best known for his Bill Clinton impression. He had a small role in “The Last Airbender” alongside “Slumdog Millionaire” star Dev Patel and Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi. The movie was directed by M. Night Shayamalan. Dan also starred in his first national commercial for Apple Computer, one in the “Get a Mac” series with Justin Long and John Hodgman.
The son of a South Asian nuclear physicist and an East Asian child psychologist, Dan is an accomplished musician who started piano lessons at the age of two. He sings and plays piano/keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and cello, and played the cello in “The Hoax”, a 2007 movie with Richard Gere. A former touring musician, he is also working on an album of original music.
A world traveler and adventurer, Dan enjoys learning languages and extreme sports such as bungee jumping, scuba diving, skiing rollerblading and skydiving. He was recently profiled in the New York Times, and a major literary agent in New York saw the article and signed him to a book deal about his transition from Intel to stand up comedy. An early riser, Dan avoids the bar scene, preferring to focus on languages, music and reading, as well as on creative and athletic pursuits.
Dan is also a published author, with a book and a DVD available on Amazon, and with another book forthcoming. |

Dan Wagner is a British entrepreneur and businessman who founded M.A.I.D. (Market Analysis and Information database) a revolutionary concept in online business technology and which pioneered the provision of online information services world-wide to this very day.
Leaving school at 16, he began his career as a salesman in a hi-fi shop in central London before joining advertising agency WCRS as a junior Account Executive. In 1984 at the age of 20, whilst doing market research that involved laborious searching of back copies of newspapers, journals, and research reports, Dan devised the first online information platform using the internet that ultimately became the world market leader.
This was five years before Sir Tim Berners Lee presented the concept of the World Wide Web in CERN, eight years before www was introduced as an addressing system for the internet and 11 years before Amazon started its business. In order to make the service available for the market, Dan had to create systems to take payment for information (eCommerce) and devise technology to interrogate content (search) – none of these technologies were available at the time. M.A.I.D/Dialog became a key contributor to the rapid acceptance and take-up of online information services during the 1990’s and Wagner built the company up from zero to 26% of the global online information market with 46 offices around the world, operations in 192 countries and over 200,000 publications being made available on line for researchers and libraries.
M.A.I.D was floated on the London Stock Exchange in early 1994 and later in the US via a NASDAQ listing in late 1995 and then acquired Dialog and became The Dialog Corporation.
In early 2000 the Company was sold to Thompson Reuters for $500 million. |

Daniel Gwak is Managing Partner of Point72 Private Investments, the institutional private investing business of Point72 Asset Management. He oversees Point72 Ventures and leads Point72 Hyperscale, our private equity strategy that seeks to drive value creation through applied AI.
Before joining Point72, Dan was a Partner on the Investment Team at In-Q-Tel, the strategic investment firm of the CIA and U.S. Intelligence Community. At In-Q-Tel, Dan focused on enterprise analytics and infrastructure companies whose technologies aided the mission of the U.S. intelligence community.
Previously, Dan was an investment banking analyst in the M&A group at Credit Suisse, a private equity associate at The Carlyle Group, and a fireteam leader in the United States Marine Corps, where he was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon and Purple Heart for actions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
I’m a big believer in transforming traditional industries with AI.
Whether that’s by backing expert founders through Point72 Ventures or transforming existing companies through Point72 Hyperscale, I think the augmentation of human workflows through AI will unlock the next economic revolution.
I started my career as a non-technical person in a technical place.
I was a private equity guy. I would fall asleep reading books on neural networks so that I’d be prepared for the next day’s water-cooler conversation. It helped me get to the right questions to ask my colleagues.
The best way to learn is by talking to experts.
Someone who can synthesize a decade or decades of experience is like having a mountaineering guide; you learn to see the landscape in a totally different way.
Small-talk Cheat Sheet:
Wild places and how to get to them. Indonesia. Macroeconomics. Overlanding.
Early in my career, I spent time on the wrong questions.
I was always wondering, “what’s the right answer?” Now I spend that time thinking, “how do we drive the best outcome?” It’s a lot more human-focused, and a lot more effective. |

I was born in a very poor rural area in China in the 1970’s. My father was unable to attend college due to political reasons at that time, so his new dream was to send me to one of the top universities in China. My father saved every penny possible and spent much time and effort to ensure that I would be able to attend a top-notch university.
His hard work paid off and I was accepted into one of the best medical universities in China, the Fourth Military Medical University (http://www.fmmu.edu.cn), to be trained as a dentist in 1991. While I was there, I saw a computer for the first time in my life. I was instantly attracted by the “Apple II” computer, which did not even have an internal hard drive.
At that particular time in China, however, it was almost impossible to change your college major. During the next 5-years at the university, I spent all my spare time in the university’s computer science room. I became a self-taught computer geek and gained recognition as a computer guru at the medical university. Many people came to me for computer-related help.
After graduating from the university in 1996, instead of becoming a dentist, I chose to develop medical-related educational computer programs and later, started to develop medical information networks on the internet. Within 5 years, I was the CEO and co-owner of one of the top 3 medical information websites in China, employing over 50 talented professionals.
Life in the USA
In the summer of 2001, a month before 09/11, I arrived in Chicago to rejoin my wife, who was pursuing her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago.
Chicago Computer Club
I could barely speak or understand English upon my arrival and was rejected for even volunteer jobs. Later, I worked in a local computer store as a computer technician and saw the growing demand for consumer I.T. services. I started my own retail computer shop business in April 2003, named it as Chicago Computer Club (http://www.cccc.us ).
By treating customers as they should be treated, providing excellent customer service and top-notch computer technicians, Chicago Computer Club expanded quickly. I converted the business to a franchise in 2008. With a new location every year, Chicago Computer Club had 8 retail locations by the end of 2012.
Jexet Technologies
In 2008, more and more business clients inquired about comprehensive business IT services. The Chicago Computer Club business service department was founded and later was spun off as Jexet Technologies ( http://www.jexet.com ), which provides outsourced managed IT services for businesses who rely on IT to run their businesses every day.
In 2016, after 7 years of growing the company, the company had about 20 employees and was running smoothly. I trained a new CEO and handed over the day-to-day business operations to him.
Business Peer Groups
I have been a member of Technology Marketing ToolKit group since 2009, a member of Entrepreneur Organization since 2012 and a member of Taylor Business Group since 2013. Spending about $30K a year deeply involved in those groups, I learned a lot about the all the aspects of business from peers of those organizations. |

I have been at the forefront of identifying, chronicling, and transforming trends in technology for over three decades.
I am the CEO and a Board Member of WorldQuant University, an accredited not-for-profit dedicated to advancing global education in the data sciences.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that higher education needed to evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly changing society and economy driven by technology. Since the pandemic started, the need for this evolution is indisputable.
As the leader of a digitally native and entirely free university, I am focused on building the infrastructure, community and relationships that allow individuals from every background to seize life-changing skills that employers increasingly demand. To further this effort, I am also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Skills Consortium, which is focused on developing a skills taxonomy that can be globally applied to closing the skills gap and addressing the future of work.
As with education, the need for data-driven healthcare has never been more apparent. Knowing the future of our world and society rely on data, I’m also a co-founder of Litmus Health, a clinical data science platform that provides end-to-end solutions for clinical trial data capture, monitoring, and analysis. We help researchers increase the certainty of their conclusions and describe the full value of their digital clinical trials.
I’ve invested in and nurtured more than 35 start-up enterprises globally, many of which have led to successful IPOs and acquisitions. My strong belief in the global empowerment of women in entrepreneurship has motivated me to advise and mentor organizations including SheEO, the Quorum Initiative, Mindshift Capital, and the Springboard Enterprises.
I’m a frequent speaker at leading events, including the Nantucket Project, SXSW, the Milken Institute's Global Conference, the Credit Suisse Women's Summit, and the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos and Africa.
As President and CEO of EDventure Holdings, I published Release 1.0 and ran PC Forum with my longtime business partner and friend, Esther Dyson. Together we helped guide many of the breakthroughs that modern technology users take for granted today.
I'm always looking for new opportunities to invest and serve on Boards. Please send me an email anytime. |

I have developed and launched over $1b of software, hardware, e-commerce, biotech, and medical device products for companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 50 corporations. I was also a pioneer in today's most disruptive industries developing AR/VR systems as early as 2000, autonomous vehicles in 2005, and DreamFunded, the crowdfunding platform, in 2012.
Super Power: Fostering and nurturing relationships while diving deep into uncharted, complex, and chaotic waters and finding clarity, insight, vision, and value.
I offer clients the rare combination of real human-to-human value-add relationship management, high level business and market analytics, and deep technical experience.
If you gave me 6 weeks to provide insight into the value of genetic testing for the efficacy of pharmaceuticals in the treatment of rare terminal diseases, I'd tell you I've already done it. If you gave me 4 weeks to define partners and acquisition targets that extend adjacent market revenue streams for a multi-billion dollar enterprise software corporation, I'd tell you I've already done it. If you asked me to support the global sales team by providing warm introductions to several dozen target customers with the ability to make purchase decisions in the current calendar year, I'd tell you I've already done it.
As co-founder of DreamFunded, the online venture capital platform, I worked with 1000s of investors and companies across industries including SaaS, enterprise SW, IOT (Big Data, AI, ML), VR/AR, biotech, and autonomous vehicles.
In my "spare" time, I am an active speaker, panelist, and mentor. I have worked with VC Taskforce, SXSW, Startup Showcase, US MAC, US Angel Investors, Haas School of Business, Global Venture Forum, Cal State East Bay, Startup Weekend, Society3, Founders Floor, and several other groups that support the startup ecosystem.
I completed an SB in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and an MBA at Haas School of Business focused on Venture Capital and Business Development. |

I have been lucky to work with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in areas that include mergers and acquisitions, business development, strategy, and operations. As an entrepreneur I have started, invested, and/or joined companies in every stage of development (napkin to IPO) and seen them through to billions of dollars in exit value.
I've spent the last twenty years building companies in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer mobile, E-commerce, and data segments. I am currently working with my brother Tom building Aidentified, a business analytics company serving the Enterprise, Real Estate, Financial Services, and Luxury markets. We have been advising early and later stage companies at Position A Partners in strategy, operations, business and corporate development for the past 10 years. Prior to this, my brother Tom and I sold a business intelligence company, called Generate, to News Corp in April, 2008. My brother Tom Aley and I had started and funded the company in 2005. While at New Corp / Dow Jones, I was responsible for managing both corporate and business development of the unit.
Prior to co-founding Generate, I was at Amazon.com where I helped direct corporate development and M&A. I was responsible for leading and managing negotiations for several of the first acquisitions that expanded Amazon’s presence into Asia Pacific, retail, and in technology. Prior to this I was hired out of Accenture by Amazon to help build their E-Commerce ASP Services business, focused on selling Amazon’s best in breed retail solutions to F500 global retailers. This grew to become a $700M business unit for Amazon between 2001 and 2005.
As an entrepreneur I've started or joined in the early stages with companies whose successful exits have totaled over $2.5 billion in returns. Included in these were executive roles in marketing, business and corporate development capacities for Shiva (sold to Intel), Avatar (sold to DCA), Ziff-Davis Publishing (Softbank), Zip2 (Compaq), WhoWhere (Lycos), Epylon (Accenture), Generate (News Corp), and Netprospex (Dun & Bradstreet). |

Yep... I am part of the venture capital exodus from San Francisco to Miami due to covid, remote work, and the beach.
During Covid's shelter in place I started Podcasting and built one of the leading Data Science user communities for introverts. "The Data Standard". The goal here was to help people network and build meaningful connections during self-isolation. I am no Joe Rogan but I am having just a much fun.
I look back on my time in Silicon Valley with incredible memories and the priceless opportunity to found, create, and innovate a new category. In 2012 I co-founded HiQ Labs to bring data-driven people decisions to the workplace. I have been credited with creating the People Analytics category, recognized as a Future of Work thought-leader, and ranked #1 on Hacker News 2x.
My next bold move is a founding team member DataDistillr rockstar data startup backed by Bessemer and Foundation Capital. We connect data where it sits no more migrations.
My career continues to present itself with bold opportunities to work with incredible Executive Teams, Boards, Data Scientists, and Enterprise Sales Leaders. They have trusted me to scale sales, product, and community teams in high growth environments...I am grateful. |

Welcome to my personal work website, designed to provide information about my commercial interests. After 25 years on the operating side of technology businesses, I shifted roles to that of company adviser, board member, investor, and inventor. I am most enthusiastic about early stage companies, with great people and technologies, providing innovative products to the global multi-channel market.
In 2007 I developed a deep interest in wearable computers, which lead to the creation of WIMM Labs, more than a dozen patents, and then acquisition by Google in 2012. The 1996 to 2006 consecutive quarterly profits at Rambus are largely a result of the products, relationships, and agreements that I led during my tenure there as vice president, president, or board member. Prior to Rambus, I served as vice president of marketing and sales at Vitesse Semiconductor. From 1980 to 1989, I held various sales and marketing management positions at Intel Corporation.
From 2003 through the present, I also served on a variety of venture-backed boards.
My educational background includes a bachelors degree in economics from the University of Santa Clara, a masters degree in business administration from Pepperdine University, and a masters degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California.
I periodically invest through Pillar LLC and own the pillar-llc.com, pillarventures.com, pillar.capital, pillarequities.com, pillaradvisers.com and pillarpartners.com domain names. Pillar has connotations about building, support and strength which appeal to me whether it relates to companies, real estate, or personal endeavors. |

Engineering Operations Manager turned Product Evangelist turned Entrepreneur!
Bringing high quality products to market. I very much enjoy leading engineers and helping them develop new and smarter ways of getting the job done. I'm not afraid to get down in to the nitty gritty details and get real work done (ie: lead by example). After all, how good can a leader be if they don't understand what their team works on and is challenged by. Collaboration and open communication are the ways to win me over. Working with a team of dedicated people who get along is what gets me out of bed and racing for the office each morning (and night 🙂
Technologies:
python/django, aws, nginx, mongodb, elasticsearch, css, js, html, and others. |

Climate change is no longer a future, hypothetical problem - it is a reality we are already facing today. There is no silver bullet, but there is silver buckshot - forests represent one of the most effective ways to combat our excessive carbon emissions. Plus there are so many co-benefits that go beyond just carbon! At Pachama, we are harnessing Artificial Intelligence and Satellite Images to verify and monitor carbon capture by forests. We’re focusing on unlocking the full potential of carbon markets to fund Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change.
With a background in entrepreneurship and law, I've been working in the technology startup space for the last decade doing a combination of business development and operations. I've had a longstanding passion for being out in nature as much as possible and taking in all that Mother Earth has to offer in her many forms. I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work at Pachama and focus my efforts on developing partnerships with companies that want to take action on climate change.

David Gutelius is CEO at Motiva AI and a founding Partner at venture studio The Data Guild. I've worked in the Silicon Valley for the last two decades, working at the intersection of humans and machines, society and technology.
I worked with the U.S. national security community post 9/11 on a wide variety of R&D topics, including DARPA's PAL Program. PAL was a chance to design and build meaningful products that combined machine learning techniques and human teams of experts to solve critical problems. That work produced the core IP for SRI International spinout companies, including Siri, Social Kinetics, Tempo AI, TrapIt, and Desti (and still counting).
Interest in human augmentation led to starting two machine learning companies, Social Kinetics (personalized behavioral healthcare - acquired by RedBrick Health) and Proximal Labs (proactive, personalized search and recommendations - acquired by Jive Software). We took Jive public in 2011.
More recently, we've brought world-class data scientists, designers, engineers, and product people together to build The Data Guild, a venture studio building companies in healthcare, energy, and other domains. The Guild works directly with customers and strategic partners to prototype, scale, and license those products. We also supply our own seed funding to the most promising Guild-built product companies. We've built products with Google (ATAP), Microsoft (Surface), Nike (Nike+), Starbucks, CMS, Emdeon, AGL Energy, GlaxoSmithKline and others.
Most recently, I'm co-founder and CEO of Motiva AI. We're out to remake customer experiences and communications by combining human empathy, analytics, and machine learning.
I also invest in and am advisor to venture capital firms, technology companies, and teams solving critical global problems I care about. Some of those are below. |

I believe deeply in the power of compounding and that it applies to personal relationships and organizational cultures as well as investing. It has taken me many years and many mistakes to internalize the significance of this simple formula. It is now so central to my personal and professional life that I try to exclusively focus my attention on the long-term when I make commitments of my scarcest resources: my time, my emotional energy and my financial capital. As I have become better at applying this to all facets of my life it has led me to be surrounded by family, friends, colleagues, companies and causes that are having significant and positive impacts on my life and in their chosen fields. I wake up every day feeling excited to root for all of them and the frequency and nature of their many successes is a regular source of joy.
My current investing activities take place at Raga Partners where I co-chair the Investment Committee and am the largest investor. Our investment process leverages our strong network of professional and personal relationships. Raga’s core investment focus is on technology-enabled companies operating in the consumer, media and financial services sectors. We believe in finding opportunities that create durable ‘win-wins:’ wins for Raga and its investment partners; wins for the founders and the management teams we back; and wins for the customers that our companies serve.
From 2012-2020 I managed my capital out of a family office supported by Raga. Direct investments I made during that time include Peloton, NYDIG, Stone Ridge Holdings Group and The Infatuation. Prior to that I was the Co-Head of the Goldman Sachs Global Securities Division and a member of the firm’s Management Committee. I am currently a trustee of The New Museum of Contemporary Art where I also chair the Board of Advisors for their incubator NEW INC. I am also a trustee of the policy institute Third Way and Grace Church School and co-chair the fundraising efforts of my class at Harvard College. I live in New York City with my wife and three children. |

• Pride myself on a coaching mentality and approach, designed to drive performance and identify and elevate great talent in my organizations.
• Built and led teams in multiple countries, at multiple levels in organizations large and small.
• Empowering my people to be successful, giving them to room to succeed, but staying “close to the business” is how I’ve lead my teams and driven business outcomes. |

Starting a company is the hardest thing anyone can ever do.
Primarily because you have to deal with a ton of useless hanger ons with terrible advice and VCs who can be the absolute worst: self important arrogant bros pumped out of ivy league’s schools that normally have opinions about things they know nothing about (ie, your brainchild or building a company themselves — most have never raised capital nor can operate themselves out of a paper bag).
So after navigating this difficult journey a few times ourselves, we now spend our time funding early stage companies and helping them grow by telling founders the truth and providing our actual experience and networks (often from failing forward). As your company grows, among other things, we then connect you with our later stage VC friends who do not suck and will actually “be helpful”.
Prior to this, co-founded ShopKeep (which exited ~$1.1b) and ran the business day to day while raising over $100m and helping to build the company into one of the larger SaaS businesses in the US.
Before ShopKeep, I was Director of Mergers and Acquisitions of IAC, Barry Diller's publicly traded holding company of numerous consumer facing technology brands (Tinder, Match, Vimeo, etc).
Also co-founded Voray (with Mark Gerson and Gavin Myers), a platform to help people build more authentic networks and grow their careers. We did this by ignoring the needs of field marketers who have no idea how to build community because they are incorrectly and only obsessed with demand gen (PSA: never let a marketer own community).
Joined the Board of Directors for Kickstarter after advising the team and helping raise early funding rounds which built the foundation for an amazing mission.
Spent the first many years of my career with PwC’s Mergers and Acquisitions team where we worked with heavily capitalized private investors and large strategics who hired us to perform commercial and financial due diligence on businesses they were buying.
I have an accounting degree from Tulane and an MBA from Columbia University. I love to dive, am not as great a skier as my wife, and have run a few Triathlons as a member of the Michael J Fox Foundation's Team Fox ("run" being really generous). A Certified Public Accountant, born in Brooklyn, I no longer live in the city with my wife and two sons (FML suburbia), but regularly visit the borough that's thorough to consume large amounts of corner squares at L&Bs Spumoni Gardens. |

David Pachter is an author, speaker and entrepreneur who leads a portfolio of companies. He is the Executive Chairman of JumpCrew and YouNow and serves on the board of Staff Management Services. In addition to co-founding JumpCrew, he also founded Bond Street Group and co-founded LocalVox, serving as CEO for both.
David’s journey can best be described as from “slacker to CEO.” Growing up in New York, his first passion was playing basketball. An average athlete at best, it was there he first learned the importance of supporting the talents of others — that the chemistry of how teams collaborate, communicate and learn together all contribute to great teams.
In time, these experiences would become key elements of David’s philosophies on leadership, teamwork and coaching, that have helped countless CXOs develop teams that both work well together and achieve.
To get there, though, David had to overcome a lack of focus, ambitious overconfidence and the resulting setbacks to become a successful sales leader, serial entrepreneur, and chairman of a portfolio of successful media, technology and services businesses.
Inspired by our ability to learn from shared experiences, as well as the trust that comes from authentic relationships, David began sharing his experiences. First, in his JumpbyDesign podcast and now in his forthcoming book, Remote Leadership: How to Accelerate Achievement and Create a Community in a Work-From-Home World.

David Sacks is co-founder and partner at Craft. He has been a successful founder and investor for over two decades, building and investing in some of the most iconic companies in tech. David has invested in over 20 unicorns, including Affirm, AirBnB, Bird, ClickUp, Eventbrite, Facebook, Houzz, Lyft, OpenDoor, Palantir, Postmates, Reddit, Slack, SpaceX, Twitter, Uber, and Wish.
David first got involved in the technology industry in 1999 when he joined early-stage startup Confinity, later renamed PayPal. Serving as the company’s first product leader and then as COO, David built and ran many of the company’s key teams, including product management and design, sales and marketing, business development, international, customer service, fraud operations, and HR. He pivoted the product from beaming money on Palm Pilots to emailing money on the web, and introduced the business model. When the company IPO’d on the Nasdaq in 2002, David was 29 — the median age of the “PayPal Mafia” executives listed on the S-1. PayPal was later acquired by eBay and eventually spun back out into a publicly traded company (under ticker symbol PYPL).
In 2008, David founded enterprise collaboration company Yammer, which was one of the first SaaS startups to apply consumer growth tactics to enterprise software. Yammer’s viral approach made it one of the fastest-growing SaaS startups in history, exceeding eight million enterprise users in just four years. As Founder/CEO of Yammer, David grew the company to roughly $60 million in sales and 500 employees. In July 2012, Microsoft acquired Yammer for $1.2 billion. It remains one of the fastest unicorn exits in SaaS.
Since Yammer, David has continued to be involved in the SaaS world, with an emphasis on “Bottom Up SaaS,” the strategy he pioneered at Yammer by combining product-led growth with B2B sales. Bottom-up SaaS companies combine the growth potential of B2C with the enterprise budgets of B2B, leading to explosive outcomes when ARR goes viral.
David is well known in Silicon Valley for his product acumen. AngelList’s Naval Ravikant has called David “the world’s best product strategist.” David likes to begin pitch meetings by seeing a product demo. |

As the CEO and co-founder of Twistage, I turned an idea into a profitable multimillion dollar business and an exit to a Fortune 1000 company. I am a seasoned software/digital media executive with a decidedly entrepreneurial bent. Over the course of my career, I’ve spent time in sales, software development, product management, and even crafting narratives as a writer. I was able to bring my multidisciplinary set of interests and experiences together at Twistage, where I enjoyed solving difficult problems and optimizing against constraints. I have the same enthusiasm for taking on challenges in all of my other endeavors.
Today, I am once again a co-founder and CEO. This time, the business is called Vendorful. Our mission is to bring some sanity to the RFP/RFI/RFQ process. Whether you’re on the purchaser side or the vendor side, it’s quite likely that all of those three-letter acronyms make chills run down your spine. I’ve long felt the same way! That’s why we’ve simplified and streamlined the process. You can sign up (it’s free) if you want to simplify your RFP process. |

Davor leads the Ventures team in Europe. Earlier in his career, Davor spent several years at McKinsey and Company, where he advised companies on strategy and technology. He was also an entrepreneur in his native Croatia.
WHAT WAS YOUR EARLIEST CHILDHOOD AMBITION?
At the age of 12, I was selling firecrackers to my school friends so I suppose it was to be an entrepreneur. That ambition grew even stronger once I moved to California as a high school student and learned about capitalism and the American entrepreneurial spirit.
WHAT’S BEEN THE STEEPEST LEARNING CURVE OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR?
During my time at Harvard, I tried my luck with a start-up project building interactive tourist attractions on the coast of Croatia. I remember thinking, "How difficult can it really be to become an entrepreneur?" The answer is: really difficult. As a founder of a start-up you can’t pick and choose to do only the things you are good at. When you are building something you must deal with any problem big and small from strategy to the smallest detail of say building a product; you are wrestling with a constantly changing multi-dimensional challenge and feel ultimate responsibility for the well-being of everyone around you - your employees, your customers and your investors. I think entrepreneurs are the real heroes of our modern era, making something out of nothing is damn hard.
WHAT CURRENT TECHNOLOGY TREND DO YOU GET MOST EXCITED ABOUT AND WHY?
It has to be the proliferation of mobile technologies – it feels like this is a once in a lifetime type of transformation. We are carrying in our pockets computers with more power than the super computers of a couple of decades ago. In 2015, the Apple app store’s revenue topped $20bn, and that’s only the beginning of the mobile revolution; mobile is going to impact every aspect of our lives, from voting, to banking, to communication. Imagine where we will be 10 years from now with all the sensors, automation and artificial intelligence?
HOW HAS THE EUROPEAN VENTURES SPACE CHANGED IN THE PAST DECADE?
The European ventures landscape has changed fundamentally. There are a significant number of massive success stories – JustEat, Spotify, Zalando to name a few, and these drive a feeling of optimism about what can be achieved. That enthusiasm is infectious and means today’s young people are much more willing to take risks and go for it whether as an entrepreneur or by joining a start-up. I am excited about the prospects of the young people who choose the entrepreneurial route today.
IF YOU COULD GIVE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE TO YOUR 20-YEAR-OLD SELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I think it would be to keep the faith with tech. It’s a sector which has a tendency to veer from massive belief to complete disbelief and there have been times in my career, particularly around 2001, when I doubted it. Today, I am more convinced than ever that tech will have an incredible impact on all our lives. I can’t think of a better job than backing the tech entrepreneurs of tomorrow. |

I'm a founder, investor and operational ninja with experience across all disciplines from executive management and go-to-market strategy to leading marketing, people, product and customer support teams. I have deep experience with SAAS, marketplaces, media, venture investing, productivity tools, and wholesale/retail.
Early-stage startups need to focus on 3 things: becoming a recruiting machine, understanding customer needs, and clear team communication. If you master this, achieving revenue growth is the result.
When teams have clear, measurable goals which include building trust and loyalty with customers, you can build sustainable businesses for the long term.
- I'm an analytical, critical and creative thinker with a keen sense of urgency.
- I'm a truth seeker and teller.

Dr. Chan received his A.B. with honors from Harvard University. He was a biochemical sciences concentrator, and he later completed a joint M.D. and Ph.D. degree at Boston University. His Ph.D. thesis involved the generation of novel therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of certain cancers, including melanomas.
Dr. Chan completed his internship in medicine at Case Western Reserve University and his residency in dermatology at Ohio State University. While at Case Western Reserve University, he completed an NIH-funded T32-funded training grant under the mentorship of Kevin Cooper, MD and was a co-principle investigator on an arm of a NIH-funded project grant that he developed and wrote which focused on programmed cell mediated death and apoptosis. He also enrolled patients in and helped to complete a clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of a new treatment for cutaneous T cell lymphoma.
As a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and a dermatologist certified by the American Board of Dermatology, Dr. Chan has expertise in both adult medical and cosmetic dermatology. While Dr. Chan can help care for many medical dermatological issues in a private setting, from acne to warts, eczema, and bullous diseases, his medical niche interests include psoriasis, cutaneous lymphomas, pigmented lesions, and hair disorders. Cosmetically, Dr. Chan has expertise in the use of lasers and other procedures for the removal of vascular lesions, scar reduction, fat reduction, and unwanted skin lesions. He is skilled in the use of neurotoxins (e.g. Dysport and Botox), fillers (e.g. Restylane), skin peels, and can help patients with wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation.
Dr. Chan has previously served as an ad hoc reviewer for Archives of Dermatology (now JAMA Dermatology) and Clinical Cancer Research. He has spoken at several national and international meetings and has published in several key peer-reviewed journals, including JAMA Dermatology and the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

I am a technically competent business executive with experience in general management, business development, strategic partnerships, and product development. My areas of expertise are startups (building, advising, and investing in them), venture capital, e-commerce, and cloud computing. I am interested in food and health tech, and promoting truth in news and politics through technology. I like to cook, used to play jazz saxophone, and love spending time with my wife.
Most recently I worked with the Venture Capital Business Development team at Amazon Web Services, where I engaged with top VC and venture-backed startup companies, across the eastern US, to help them get the most out of AWS's cloud computing platform, provide introductions for technical guidance, capital raising, and hiring, and mentor them based on my experiences as a 4x founder and startup investor. I’m currently, or have recently been, a mentor @ Techstars Mobility, Retail, Chicago, and Connection (NYC).
Earlier in my career, I founded TigerGPS, which I bootstrapped from my college dorm, grew to a $20 million revenue business, and sold to a PE-backed strategic acquirer in 2008. I re-acquired the company in 2010, sold it a second time in 2013, got my MBA, and founded 3 other companies with more mixed success (so it goes in this line of work!). I have also done investing @ First Round Capital's Dorm Room Fund and with personal angel investments (6 to date). |

I founded Valencia Ventures as an exclamation point to a 25 year career in Financial Services, FinTech, E-commerce and Software. Over that time, I had the privilege to lead phenomenal teams at both Fortune 500 companies and start-ups and contribute to the digital transformation of three industries. Valencia Ventures is the umbrella company for my continuing work in Digital Innovation and Corporate Governance, Marketing Excellence, and my support for entrepreneurs, women and minorities in Tech.
I currently serve as an Independent Director on the Boards of Walker & Dunlop (NYSE:WD), Mitek Systems (Nasdaq: MITK), CWT Travel Holdings, and the FinTech "Unicorn" Betterment. I previously served on the Boards of Boston Private Bank (acquired by Silicon Valley Bank NASDAQ: SIVB), and Apex Technology (merged with AvePoint NASDAQ: AVPT). One of the highlights of my decade in Board Service came in September 2021, when I was named Board Director of the Year by the Women in Information Technology organization.
My last operating role, from 2010 to 2017, was as President, CEO and Board Director at Mindflash Technologies, Inc., a private Palo Alto company providing a market-leading, cloud-based SaaS platform for corporate and partner training. I'm proud to say that Mindflash was named a Top 50 Small Workplace in the US by Fortune magazine in 2016. Mindflash was acquired by Turn River Capital.
Prior to Mindflash, I held senior leadership positions at Mint.com, American Express, and Charles Schwab and led US Marketing for Intuit and Expedia. I was honored to be one of 10 people nominated as Business Role Model of the Year by Information Age in 2018.
I'm extremely optimistic about the convergence of cloud, mobile and machine learning. With thoughtful and responsible stewardship, the combination of these technologies can and will increase the standard and quality of living for all. Which is why I'm very excited by the incredible, current opportunities to collaborate and contribute to Leadership for What Comes Next.
It’s going to get amazing. I can't wait.

After many years of scouring the internet, I found good information but it never seemed to be directly pertinent to those who are entering the workforce. There are a lot of web sites that discuss how to get out of debt, how to retire by some magic number like 30, 40 or 50, or what it’s like being retired? But what I didn’t find was a site that discussed the planning and decision making that it took for the everyday working person. Where do my children and grandchildren go to learn financial skills?
What is my why?
Have you ever heard anyone say that to accomplish a goal, one needs to have a why? Well in my case the why is in the photo. It is now all about my legacy. It is amazing how things change once you get older. It is no longer about the personal goals but it is now all about trying to make the world a better place for my daughter, son and grandsons. Making sure that they get what they need to become successful and happy. Look at the smile on those little guys. I am very lucky to have my grandsons, my son, daughter and their spouses in my life.
Who am I?
I am many things. But most people define this by their job. I am not defined by what I do for a living but working a full time job does occupy a lot of one’s time and does influence his or her social life. So, I became part of what was very new at the time once upon a time ago. A computer science graduate before there was any thought of personal computers by the masses. It was the time of the main frame computer and mini computers had just made their start into the market place.
That wasn’t enough so I continued my education while working and picked up a computer engineering master’s degree. I suppose it was a big deal at the time since no one that I know of in my family or extended family had accomplished that feat to date. Since then, a few other family members have traveled that path as well.
I also taught computers, economics and business courses at a small business school as well as at one of the largest private Universities in the world. The large private university had also asked me to become an assistant department chair. This granted me the opportunity to help out with hiring staff and defining the course curriculum. A great experience.
I am also a frustrated athlete. One with no natural ability but worked very hard at playing baseball, basketball and working out in the gym. So I am still playing today but there was no way that I was going to become a professional athlete even though I grew up believing that every day of my childhood.
What about the name of the site?
Well, I never prided myself much as being a reader but obviously I had to read a lot to get through undergraduate and graduate school. So reading was math books and technical manuals. These days, all my reading occurs in financial books, periodicals and web sites. And I cannot get enough.
This brings me back to the why I am creating the site. There just weren’t many resources that discussed what goes into day by day financial planning. I was fortunate enough to have a father who always discussed personal finance with me as a young child. Perhaps I was just a sounding board while traveling with him on his long sales trips. Or perhaps he knew exactly what he was doing.
This site is named Dads Personal Finance in honor of my Dad who took the time to ensure that he was enabling the next generation to succeed. The other reason for the name is who better to trust than your Dad.
One of the things that used to really bother me was that I would get financial advisors calling me and asking to do a free portfolio analysis. My first thought was always to think about asking them to let me see their million dollar+ portfolio. If I was going to take any advice, it better be from someone who had built a massive portfolio. Its like signing up for the gym and then getting the little fat kid with pimples to show me how to use the machines. Why would I want to learn from some who wasn’t physically or financially fit?
Thank goodness I listened to that little voice in my head. So what I offer the reader is the fact that I have already accomplished this goal and then some. I didn’t do it through being part of a company acquisition or an inheritance. I did it through hard work, spending less than I made and saving along with investing. Note that I don’t advocate that you do anything I have done. The content on this site is for entertainment purposes and you shouldn’t implement anything I have done without consulting your professional advisor(s).
The biggest driver for this blog is that I believe I had been too passionate about personal finance and it turned my children off. Enough so that they have tuned me out should I start speaking about the subject. I am OK with this. But it is still my responsibility that they have the information that they will eventually need. Hopefully they will make it to this blog to obtain the personal finance information they need when they are ready for it. It is my responsibility as a parent to do everything I can to set them up for success.
Unfortunately, becoming financially successful has a simple formula like losing weight. For losing weight, you simply need to move more and eat less. To become financially successful, you need to live below your means and invest the difference. Or make more, spend less, and save/invest the difference. It’s unfortunate as it is so easy but it is also so elusive. On this site, we will investigate the nuisances behind this notion of becoming financially independent.
But most importantly, this is not about me. This is about you. How may I best serve you? |

Currently, my "primary job" is serving as Managing Director of Silicon Valley Connect [which I mention in an attempt to help you decipher my profile, since as you will see there are a number of other roles that I play whether as a board member, advisor, or investor]. Additionally, I am an active investor in and advisor to several dozen startup companies.
Each of my roles has in one way or the other involved being the "interface" between groups thinking about the future of technology, entrepreneurship and innovation: the technical and non-technical communities; the VC and the entrepreneur; the industry and academia. My interest in pursuing technology and innovation-related issues on a global scale comes from a wide range of experiences: while working in startups, large companies, venture capital, research labs and universities.
Generally speaking, my current areas of interest include all things related to professional social networking, "social productivity" and the "consumerization of enterprise" as well as evaluating, assessing, and developing new models for innovation within and between individuals and organizations. A lot of those interests come together in my focus on the "Future of Work": skills/training, making quality education available at scale, needs of displaced unemployed populations, and unique business models and programs being developed to work on some of the most pressing challenges.
Specialties: New technology research, strategy, partnering, M&A, early business plan development, innovation efforts within organizations (especially in adopting new technologies and practices), converting basic research ideas into business innovation opportunities. |

Let’s change the world. Together.
My perspective is the world is small and life is fast, all courtesy of technology. Technology isn’t just making something cheaper or faster, but rather how do we make something better. I am passionate and fearless about new technologies and the ways it can help people be together. I try to start with questions instead of conclusions. I believe that the role of technology is a pathway to creating new experiences, more efficient processes and ultimately, enhancing your daily life. E-Commerce, Cross Platform Marketing, Shared Economy, Collaborative Consumption, Consumer Personalization, Internet of Things (IoT), Interactive Video, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Neural Networks (NN), Computer Vision (CV), and Augmented Reality (AR) are all technologies I am involved with professionally and personally. I work with teams around the world, as long as they have good internet. And we have a lot of fun doing it.

In 2017, he received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from The Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce, Wharton’s Trailblazer Award for his achievements in venture capital, and was named a Ford Man of Courage.

I'm a software engineer and founder of Worklytics (YC W18), a workplace analytics platform. Having worked at several start-ups, I'm passionate about the challenges of building and growing a team - seeing that as the core part of being a technical leader at a young company.
I believe that to build a great company, you must hire smart people, empower them, and support their growth. Data and machine learning can make all of these decisions faster, fairer, and more agile. |

Q&A with Erik
What’s the common thread that runs through your career?
Empowering founders at scale. Via Product Hunt, On Deck, and Village Global, I’ve aimed to build institutions that help founders access distribution, talent, and capital.
What’s one of your superpowers?
Putting people in business and building long-term relationships with them. One of my favorite things is finding people who are great and unknown — high aptitude, low credential — and amplifying, connecting, and working with them.
A book you commonly gift to people?
Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. I try to keep my Goodreads up to date as well.
In your spare time?
I’m a big reader and podcast listener; I enjoy anything that keeps my mind stimulated. |

Modern dominoes have been around for centuries, and each country has their own version of the game. As a child, Eurie’s favorite way to play was to line them all up in a particular order, and knock them all down with one tile. Turns out, this approach is very applicable to the startup world. Ultimately, to be a successful entrepreneur, one must have both the vision to chart a path forward that others aren’t able to see, and the foresight to put each step in the right order to gain the momentum needed to win.
As a former entrepreneur, Eurie has deep personal appreciation for the emotional commitment and relentless passion required of a founder, allowing her to be radically empathetic to the entrepreneurs she works with, while being realistic and honest in the advice she offers. Her point-of-view reflects her practical nature and her penchant for seeing the big picture through the mess of fighting fires day to day. Inspired by identifying evolving consumer needs, Eurie seeks opportunities to leverage technology to optimize and innovate every aspect of life and to find the right entrepreneur with the vision to take on the challenge.
Eurie joined Forerunner Ventures in 2012 and has invested in companies spanning health and wellness, travel, personal care / beauty, supply chain automation, edtech, and sustainable food. She sits on the Boards of Oura, The Farmer’s Dog, Curology, Attabotics, Eclipse, and Juni, among others, and was featured on the Forbes Midas Brink List in 2020. Eurie is also a founding member of the female mentorship collective, All Raise, and champions women in the technology industry.
Prior to Forerunner, Eurie developed strategies for Fortune 100 companies at Bain & Company, and also invested in growth-stage consumer and retail businesses. Eurie earned an MBA with honors at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a B.S. with honors in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley. |

I specialize in consumer products and growth to help companies scale from initial product market fit. It turns out, the best way to grow a business is to build something users love and find valuable. I've led many products that grew from thousands to millions. If that's helpful to you, I'd love to talk shop.
I now live in Hong Kong, back to my birthplace after going around the world (previously San Francisco, Los Angeles, Beijing.)

Grew up in Germany with his first computer being a i486 with 40 Mhz. As with many things he kept trying to pull it apart to learn how it works. His father had originally built the computer, but only visited every other weekend, so it forced him to learn to fix it himself.
Since then he has gotten the opportunity to fix a lot of things. From being a game master leading customer support teams for RF Online and Archlord, to being in the Network Operations Center for Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings online, to some of the first online video delivery networks that were to stream cable TV to tablets, before joining Riot games and helping to scale the infrastructure of what was to become the largest online game in the world, and saw eSports break into the mainstream.
During the day he helps build autonomous robots and teach them how to drive. At night he dreams about the tech of the future that will make life more awesome. |

I am a seasoned and innovative leader, that love to develop products and drive business that can transform the way people live. I have been very successful building winning teams around the world with amazing people that share the same passion I have: solve complex problems using technology and giving customers more choices. These teams always had the same DNA that helped to build strong cultures - focus on customers, high performance and results orientation, passion for working hard but having lots of fun too.
I started my career with a group of friends that founded a startup what would become the largest internet company in Latin America, Terra, present in 14 countries, and with more than 100 million people per month in 2012.
From 2012 to 2016, I was with Walmart.com where I helped to build from the scratch the Brazilian eCommerce operation, and led it to be one of the top three e-commerce players in the country. In United States, me and my team recreated all aspects of the shopper’s journey. We doubled the eCommerce gross merchandise value and positioned Walmart.com as the second most trafficked eCommerce site in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016.
In July 2018 I joined ipsy, a company with a passionate, talented team that, together its powerful community are changing the face of beauty industry at massive scale. ipsy works with more than 8,000 creators and reaches 20 million individuals every month through its social media channels. ipsy engages its community through the Glam Bag, a highly personalized subscription service that fuels trial and education for more than 3 million subscribers monthly and has recently launched an e-commerce marketplace. Our mission: inspire individuals around the world to express their unique beauty. |

With a strong background in advertising & communication, back in 2001, I designed the very first european magazine fully dedicated to mobile entertainment services (when logos where B&W and ringtones...monophonic), SMSMAG, distributed via street marketing teams in BE, FR & UK, which generated 4M+ mobile downloads. I also developed an innovative B2B service dedicated to the real time correction of wrongly spelled logos & ringtones requests, which was used by the main EU players in the early days of mobile entertainment. The platform evolved to become the first “mobile contact centre”, handling a variety of txt-based requests. This gave birth to the SMSCASH concept in late 2005, the first txt-based consumer loan service, sold to Laser Cofinoga (FR) in July 2006 after grossing 15M euro of loans production. Having completed those two mobile/internet ventures, I started a boutique label (Les Disques Modernes), which signed two BE bands and released in the UK the album of an iconic Belgian act (K’s Choice). In october 2010 I co-promoted the Belgian edition of the European Japan Anime Live tour (arena manga & anime show). In 2011 I realized my childhood dream by writing & producing my first family circus show, Le Rêve d’Igor by Le Cirque Moderne, which was staged in two different versions for more than 150 performances in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, I returned to the mobile scene with a web app enabling anyone to create micro websites in a snap. In 2014, I self-published a historical novel about La Belle Epoque & WW1, inspired by the story of my ancestors.
I currently serve a limited roster of clients in a variety of marketing & sales roles. I have one or two monthly slot(s) still available. See T&C on Callmefred.com. |

Garo Keresteci started this blog because of my interest in the commercial opportunities, and challenges, of legal cannabis along the entire supply chain (B2B) and consumer path to purchase (B2C). The business opportunities related to medical and recreational cannabis are mind-boggling, complicated even more by multiple levels of government in each country attempting to control and benefit from this new cash crop. This blog aims to help marketers navigate this new and ever evolving industry.
I have a track record of coming up with marketing solutions and programs that deliver impact and results. For over 16 years I have helped lead FUSE Create. We have become one of Canada’s largest and most successful independent agencies, delivering ground-breaking solutions that continuously exceed the expectations of Canadian and multinational brands such as CIBC, Canadian Tire, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Hyundai, Ricola, Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games, Prestige Consumer Healthcare, AB InBev and Tetley.
Most recently, I’ve led the growth of the cannabis practice at FUSE. Under my leadership we’ve assembled a suite of Canadian & US cannabis clients, including licensed producers and suppliers to the industry. I’m continuously invited to all the major conferences and, in addition to this site, have published white papers on important industry issues.
I also have a love for startup ventures, some of which include Vet Success, Hip Digital, and Soft Gravity; and for giving back, having served on the board of the True Patriot Love Foundation, a private sector fundraising initiative that supports the military families of Canadian soldiers and veterans. I have a specific interest in how cannabis, in different form factors, can help soldiers and veterans suffering from PTSD.
Other accolades I’m proud of:
– Recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for Service to Canada
– Marketing Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential Marketers
– Globe and Mail’s Top 50 Small & Medium Employers in Canada
I’m proud most of all of my family – my best friend and life partner Carolyne, and our three amazing children – Matt, Ben & Ella. |

Co-founded Afore Capital, one of the largest venture funds ($124M) dedicated to super early stage investments. No investment is "too early" for Afore, and in fact, we prefer to get involved as early as possible and help the company get to the next stage where traditional VCs can get involved. If you think we could be a fit for your startup, please find a warm intro and we'd love to chat!
Previously, I made 26 seed-stage investments including Cruise Automation (acq by GM for $1B+), Firebase (acq by Google) and Dia & Co (Series A Sequoia Capital) through Founder Collective.
I was one of the first Product Managers for Android (led the Nexus product line); joined the platform when we had less than 1M total users (today >2.5B). I was recognized with the Founders Award, highest employee achievement award at Google, for my contributions to Android.

In the last 6 years, I have founded (or co-founded) 4 companies - financial game's portal (100,000+ univ students), social media advertising platform (60,000+ publishers with reach to over 100 million users) , Pinterest analytics tool (acquired by LA-based, Science Inc), visual media advertising company (acquired by NY Times).
I am also an active angel investor and help education institutions with their entrepreneurship programs.
Currently, I am running a US-based SaaS startup studio called SaaS Labs, Inc with 130K businesses as users and team of 70.

>25 years professional experience, 10 years as a manager in big corporations, the following ones as entrepreneur (Neomobile) and now as Investor in Tech companies, soon via my new Venture Capital initiative: "The Techshop".
Throughout my business life I've always been hunting for talented and passionate people to work with, to share projects and goals with and to "pollinate" one another. I have mentored and inspired management teams and founders, being inspired and learning by each of them.
My true passion and strength lie in scaling-up a business along the various axes of growth: talents, product design, partnerships, global expansion, M&A.
Today, I am a passionate Venture Investor and I’m committed to the success of a few Public & Private tech companies as Non-Executive Director (NED), sharing my know-how to boost such businesses further.
My goal and dream have ever been to export the unique "made in Italy" blend of Mobile Tech & Marketing to the world, a dream which came true thanks to the startup and development of Neomobile in 2007. The Italian company became a leader in the mobile commerce world, driven by a vision aimed to bridge the app revolution with the mobile carrier space, a new business ecosystem.
I've been lived in London since 2011, from where I am mentoring, advising and investing into London and Milan start-ups mainly, helping them to scale-up, to expand internationally and to boost their business model. I'm returning to Italy to launch The Techshop
I see Linkedin network as a great catalyst, hence I'm used to give prompt feedbacks to any input received from these pages. |

Thanks for visiting my page!
It's time to communicate your “superpowers” and convince companies they need YOU!
I’ve reviewed thousands of job applications and I am always diving into more. I am passionate about helping you craft your story so recruiters and companies “Like” you at first glance and take a keen interest in speaking with you.
Whether you are a student or a seasoned professional looking to make a career change, I will help you reshape your search to match your goals or uncover opportunities you might not have considered. Let’s do this!
• NEW: How to manage stress & resilience in the workplace
• Conduct an annual career assessment for you
• Work on your resume so your story speaks volumes about your value
• Hone your virtual interview skills, and along the way help you network like a pro – both online and offline (even if you hate that sort of thing)
• Optimize your job search with the right tools and insight
• Leadership coaching & Identify and leverage the right mentors or sponsors inside and outside your company
• Help you explore "side hustle" or freelancing
I have 18+ years of global working experience in the U.S., Europe, and Asia – first as a hiring manager for strategic business roles (product marketing, communications, branding, and business development), and then as a recruiter and talent leader.
I look forward to working with you soon!
P.S. Here’s a quick LinkedIn tip: If you receive "InMails" from recruiters, it's tempting to decline messages with their quick "No Thanks" feature because you're not currently looking for a career change. But bear in mind that LinkedIn will eliminate the potential for any further communication between you and that sender. Take the time to reply to the message directly. This will keep the options open should you become interested in the future. |

Grace is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs at their most vulnerable stage to enable the growth of emerging technologies. At Menlo, Grace advocates for new investments while also supporting existing portfolio companies. She has furthered Menlo’s existing theses and investments in departmental SaaS, the next-gen GTM and customer experience stack, data, and productivity tooling. These areas of interest are a natural extension of Grace’s work prior to venture. Before VC, Grace was a builder and buyer of tooling for a swath of departments at different tech companies (Google – ML and ops, NetApp – product and sales, eBay – marketing and analytics, Facebook – internal productivity). Many of the companies she was bringing in to solve company pain points were early-stage startups and she quickly realized she would rather be helping founding teams than tech behemoths.
Prior to Menlo, Grace was also an investor at RRE Ventures and President of the rising venture community in NY.
Grace graduated with honors from Rice University in Mathematical Economic Analysis and Political Science. She is an advocate for diversity in tech and venture—championing not just gender, racial, and ethnic diversity, but the inclusion and representation of people from different educational and socioeconomic backgrounds. She has served as co-lead of Pitching to the Partnership, a monthly series that connects emerging women in venture with partners from other firms, an advisor to the Board of the Made organization, which supports local startups and founders in New York and San Francisco, and a mentor to first-generation college students through the SWAG organization. For fun, Grace is an adventurous traveler. Her favorite trip? Spending a month in a campervan in New Zealand. Today, you can catch her exploring the beautiful Californian terrain with her husky Max. |

D. Gregory Dunn is a seasoned crisis communications counselor with deep experience in major international, as well as boutique, public relations firms. Dunn began working with Kurth Lampe in 2015 to effectively leverage his diverse background in helping corporate clients, non-profits and faith-based groups tell their stories, build their reputations, increase sales and manage through crisis situations.
Prior to working with Kurth Lampe, Dunn’s work included establishing a Chicago office for a national public relations agency. Before joining that firm, he spent more than a decade with one of the world’s largest public relations agencies. While there, Dunn became head of the corporate reputation offering within the U.S. Corporate Practice, working with large blue-chip and smaller niche companies, as well as select non-profits. He served as client leader for several of the firm’s major clients, while also supporting other clients in the areas of executive positioning, branding, corporate social responsibility, internal communications, and crisis preparedness and issues management.
Mr. Dunn provided counsel on a range of crisis assignments during this time, including:
AIG – beginning in October 2008, he was a key part of the team engaged to support the world’s leading insurance organization as it fought for survival at the peak of the U.S. financial system crisis. The agency team provided counsel across all levels of the organization, and maintained a seat at the table with the C-Suite during the worst months of the crisis. While the team was charged with helping to triage the massive number of requests for information from all key external and internal stakeholders, they also helped focus their AIG counterparts on crafting a longer-term story that painted an optimistic picture about the company’s survival. While supporting the overall agency effort, Mr. Dunn also served as the point person partnered with senior leadership of AIG’s largest divisions, ensuring consistency of message between the divisions and parent company, while also helping the divisions achieve some degree of separation from the parent company’s positioning, where helpful. In this capacity, he helped the divisions maintain ongoing, open communication channels with employees, trade and business media and other stakeholders.
HealthMarkets – Mr. Dunn was engaged by a small Texas insurance company to help the company re-brand itself (it was known as UICI at the time). His team’s focus shifted rapidly, however, as UICI received a “cease and desist” letter from the insurance commissioner of a key state. Mr. Dunn led the agency team that counseled the CEO and his executive team in dealing with this issue … which soon turned into a full-blown crisis, as 26 state insurance commissioners eventually banded together and launched a “multi-state” investigation into the company’s marketing practices, among other areas. Media interest was intense – and included a front-page USA Today story and an array of broadcast pieces – and Mr. Dunn’s team helped lead company management through the challenging process of anticipating as much as possible, while also reacting where needed. Ultimately, the team helped blunt the inaccurate allegations, while also drawing somewhat more favorable coverage for the company in light of the corrective actions it was taking.
Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America – When the then-CEO was indicted by the Department of Justice on price-fixing charges, Mr. Dunn was brought in to help the client prepare for both media and internal queries. The agency team helped develop a message track that supported a transition to an interim CEO, while also insulating the company itself from criticism.
Dunn and his wife – a fellow Andrews University alum -- live on the south side of Chicago, where he and their children actively participate in the Hyde Park Constellations Pathfinders club. |

Greg leads deal sourcing for ValueStream and is hands-on with our portfolio companies, providing business development and enterprise sales support. Prior to ValueStream, Greg was a top sales leader, selling data products into Fortune 500 technology companies for Ovum (acq. Informa) and software into banks for Middle Office Solutions (acq. Bloomberg), while launching, advising, and investing in startups along the way.
At ValueStream Ventures, we are a thesis-driven, early-stage fund based in NYC & SF and focused on investing in B2B platforms built around valuable data.
We gravitate towards investments in B2B software, data/analytics, and fintech. Our thesis is a combination of opportunity and stage. High-value data, and its infrastructure, creates defensible companies with lower costs of scaling. We typically invest in the “early growth” stage of a company – when there is some revenue and signs of product/market fit, but it is not yet a consensus bet. We like this stage because we excel at driving momentum through targeted BD support, crafting platform strategies powered by core data assets, and preparing a company for growth financing.
Our hands-on GPs have a unique ability to identify, underwrite, and support businesses built around high-value data. Our team's experience – working together in this space since 2013 – brings differentiated insights into how data can be leveraged to create value. Entrepreneurs and investors who partner with us find that we hustle, we dig deep, and we make rounds happen. |

Greg Rudin leads Menlo Labs, a venture studio and incubator. Greg first connected with Menlo as a portfolio executive and later joined the firm as an Executive-in-Residence in 2019, before partnering with Shawn Carolan to build the next great startup through Menlo Labs.
Greg brings more than 20 years of working with notable e-commerce brands and a variety of fast-growing software companies to his leadership role at Menlo Labs. With deep experience operating within technology companies from pre-funding through post-IPO in a variety of contributor and leadership roles, Greg provides guidance that stems from real-world lessons building and running companies.
Greg’s been fortunate enough to have had only five jobs over his 20 years in business—four of which he joined at the seed stage, and one during Series A. Those companies spanned multiple industries, including e-commerce (ShopAround), digital music (MusicNow, acquired by AOL), online storage (Cleversafe, acquired by IBM), ad tech (MediaBank/MediaOcean, acquired by Vista Equity Partners), and local marketplace/e-commerce (Groupon, GRPN). Working directly with founders has been the common thread across all of his jobs. Greg has helped to distill, shape, and execute on their visions while empathizing with and meeting customer needs.
He’s taken his love of early stage company building to angel investing, advising, and working with dozens of founders across multiple sectors including travel, digital health, entertainment, IoT, ed tech, food, SaaS, future of work, and more.
Greg was born and raised in Chicago, and earned a BA in History at the University of Illinois, where he graduated as captain of the varsity wrestling team. He later earned a JD from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
When he’s not helping launch, operate, invest in, or advise a company, Greg can typically be found spending time at home in Lafayette, CA, with his wife Beth, their two teenage sons, Levi and Truman, and their Cavachon, Suki. And given that he completed his final and 37th season as coach for his sons' sports teams in February 2020, you may find him filling time playing basketball with his boys in their driveway or hiking the trails of Northern CA. |

From 2014 to 2017, I invested in over 200 companies, mainly online marketplaces across 30 countries and at all stages. I then, co-founded Merlin, an hourly jobs marketplace which I helped scale to millions of users, 250 employees, and raised +$37M in funding from great folks at General Catalyst, FirstMark, Hummingbird, Uncork, FJ Labs, and many others. In late 2020, I sold Merlin in, arguably, one of the most unconventional M&As in tech (will share details and lessons soon). I'm currently taking some time off but still actively angel investing.

“I focus on working with founders who are building technology companies with an authentic and responsible mission. A mission-driven company usually requires an investor with patience and long-term perspective, and I feel those are my core strengths"
I am an investor, founder, and author. I am also the managing partner of General Catalyst.
I am an early investor in market-leading companies like Stripe, Livongo (acquired by Teladoc in an $18.5B merger, the largest in digital health history to-date), Samsara (NYSE: IOT), Snap (NYSE: SNAP), Fundbox, Grammarly, Gusto, Applied Intuition, and Anduril.
I am an advocate for Responsible Innovation, aligning innovation with the long-term interests of society by engineering for growth and good with greater intention, fewer unintended consequences, and increased inclusivity. In my 2022 book Intended Consequences: How to Build Market-Leading Companies with Responsible Innovation, I lay out an actionable framework for founders and executives on how to create innovative companies built for growth and for societal good that withstand the test of time. As part of this, I am also co-founder and chairman of Responsible Innovation Labs, a non-profit consortium of leaders aiming to create standards of innovation to serve the needs of a global society, and to help build enduring companies that re-center technology as a force for good.
My 2020 book, UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance, co-authored with Dr. Stephen Klasko, CEO of Jefferson Health, details our thesis for how the healthcare system needs to transform a “sick care” system into a Health Assurance system designed to help people stay well, bend the cost curve, and make quality care more affordable and more accessible to all. In Unscaled, released in 2018, I articulate the need for accountability, transparency and explainability as AI permeates every aspect of our daily lives.
I wound up with five degrees from MIT because I was hoping to pursue an academic career: M.Eng. EECS, S.M. Operations Research, S.B. Biology, S.B. Mathematics, and S.B. EECS. In hindsight, that was excellent training for being a venture capitalist because I am always curious about new areas of innovation.
Alongside my work here at General Catalyst, I serve on the Stanford School of Medicine Board of Fellows, have worked on climate and energy issues as the co-founder and Chairman of Advanced Energy Economy, and I am a founding board member of Khan Lab School, an innovative K-12 school. |

As Business Development Partner and a member of Menlo’s Fuel team, Houman’s priority is to accelerate growth for the firm’s portfolio companies. He works closely with the management teams of Menlo portfolio companies to identify mutually beneficial customer engagements, strategic partnerships, and to help catalyze additional rounds of financing. Houman brings his extensive network and experience helping accelerate companies’ growth. He fosters an ecosystem of industry-leading companies and individuals committed to partnering with Menlo portfolio companies.
Before joining Menlo Ventures, Houman spent 15 years at Qualcomm where he held positions in engineering, project management, and product development. One of his memorable product development efforts was creating and launching Whispernet, which was the magic behind book delivery for the Amazon Kindle. During the last seven years, he ran business development for the Qualcomm Ventures division, where he worked closely with companies including, AttackIQ, Clarifai, Cohesity, Fitbit, Ring, RetailNext, Thundersoft, and Zoom. Houman was a founding member of Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator, which he ran in partnership with TechStars, and invested in ten early-stage AI and robotics companies in the nascent days of robotics investments. Houman is also an inventor and has been granted two U.S. Patents in the field of radio frequency modulation in mobile phones.
Houman has always been fascinated by the function of the human brain, computers, and—at times—the marriage of the two. He found the perfect harmony of the two fields in his undergraduate studies at UC San Diego, where he majored in computational cognitive science. Houman is a Stanford Certified Project Manager and has completed additional coursework at Harvard Business School’s Executive Program with a focus on venture capital and private equity. |

I was born in Toronto and reside in Phoenix, AZ. I am married (23 years, 16.2 Canadian years), have two awesome kids and two dachshunds Bagel (sadly passed away) and Lindzee.
Schools I attended and even graduated from include—University of Western Ontario, Arizona State University and the American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird).
I am focused on the innovation in personal finance and do-it-yourself investing.
I make early stage investments through Social Leverage.
I am the co-founder and chairman of StockTwits
I write books and occasionally do interviews.
If you don’t believe me, here is what Entrepreneur Magazine said about me:
Howard Lindzon is an irreverent buzz machine who powers through wall-to-wall meetings on five milligrams of Adderall. A prolific blogger and serial entrepreneur (StockTwits, a Twitter for traders, is his crown jewel), Lindzon is founder and general partner at Social Leverage, an eclectic seed fund. He typically finds entrepreneurs before they find him. Here’s what he likes: founders who show grit, solve problems and won’t crumple in chaos. Here’s what he ignores: business-news TV and spreadsheet-based decisions. His fund’s average investment: about $600,000.
In the Summer of 2006, I created Wallstrip and we aired over 300 episodes. In May 2007, Wallstrip was purchased by CBS.
My hobbies include golf and cycling. I am an empty nester (I own and operate two millennials) and expect my amazing kid to boomerang home after college.
I am in pursuit of the perfect sleep solution.

Serial Entrepreneur is defined as an entrepreneur who continuously comes up with new ideas and starts new businesses. As opposed to a typical entrepreneur, who will often come up with an idea, start the company, and then see it through and play an important role in the day to day functioning of the new company, a serial entrepreneur will often come up with the idea and get things started, invest in the venture then give responsibility to someone else and move on to a new idea and a new venture.
I have substantial experience as a senior executive in the consumer electronics, AI/blockchain, semiconductor and IoT markets. I'm a highly motivated leader with an emphasis on partnerships, focused on strategic account development with large, mutual upside.
Specialties: 30+ years sales and business development experience, specializing in strategic selling, creating new opportunities, negotiating, and closing deals. Leads by example. |

I’ve co-produced hundreds of events in the US, Europe, and Asia. NFT.NYC has been my favorite conference each year since we launched it in 2019. Last year, we brought our community together with 5,500 attendees, 600 speakers and more than 100 sponsors. We expect more than 10K to join us this year in Times Square June 20-23 2022.
7x Co-founder: Octane Enterprises (1997), Take No Glory (2007), Kukui (2010), YouRealty (2013), Gorilla Branders (2014), WMVAI (2017), and attn.live (2019). 4x Entrepreneur in Residence: Runway Innovation Hub inside Twitter HQ, City College of San Francisco’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Transform Our World, and Bethel.
I’ve been a tech entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley for 20+ yrs. Before being acquired by a private equity firm, one of my companies (Kukui) was ranked #76 on the Inc 500 list as the fastest growing private company in San Jose because of our 3,943% growth rate.
I’m optimistic about the future and thrive when developing innovative products with my team. I’m confident that Distributed Ledger Tech (Blockchain • Crypto • NFTs) Natural Language Processing (Alexa • Assistant • Siri), and the Decentralized Metaverse will empower human flourishing at an accelerated rate.
I’m grateful to be a father of two sons (9 and 13). My parents are both lifetime entrepreneurs and our ancestors have raised their families in the San Francisco Bay Area since my forefather (José Moraga) founded the city of San Jose in 1777. This heritage inspires me to create legacy, and it motivates me to inspire others as a keynote speaker and moderator.

I never want to stop learning. I’m always in the middle of a book or two (ok well maybe even three). I also love meeting new people to learn about their strategies of how they make decisions. My entrepreneurial career began at age five when I took apart my tricycle in hopes to build a motorcycle — but it didn’t quite turn out as planned. I changed gears to lemonade stands, and selling hand painted seashells — but later realized that any profit was out of guilt!
Flash forward to today —
I’m the product management lead for online grocery delivery pre-fulfillment & tipping at Walmart eCommerce. |

Ira Weiss specializes in tax strategy, financial accounting, and venture capital. He teaches advanced MBA courses in tax strategy, accounting, entrepreneurship and venture capital.
Weiss has been the recipient of a handful of teaching awards, and his research has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and on CNN, as well as in the Journal of Accounting and Economics and Review of Accounting Studies.
Weiss feels it is important for students in his tax class to walk away knowing how to structure business decisions in the most tax-efficient manner, taking into account all other costs. He cites one significant use for the tools he teaches in class: learning how to structure merger and acquisition transactions.

I believe that AI will enable us to build a new type of business -- one that can take on more risk on behalf of their customers and provide the end-to-end service in a scalable way, delivering a higher quality product and level of service in exchange for a greater share of the value they create. The next generation of breakout startups will be selling AI-enabled services, not software, and the playbook to build and fund them will be completely different than what we've seen before. |

Hi! I’m Jack, the founder of Zeno.
All my life, I struggled to manage a host of common mental health challenges: ADHD, stress and overwhelm, burnout and depression...
And I tried the whole range of treatments: from herbal adaptogens and CBD supplements to prescription SSRIs and ADHD medication. Some didn’t do anything, while others made me feel like a zombie. I’d never had good experiences with cannabis, but a friend insisted that I just needed a lower dose...
That's when I discovered that eating a tiny slice of a cannabis gummy every day — though not enough to get high — helped me relax, regain focus, and take greater pleasure in my work and my life. It wasn’t so much a “drug” as it was “training wheels,” helping me tune in to a healthier, happier mindset.
When I shared this “daily microdose” technique with friends, they reported the same effect — recovering their natural, wakeful balance and good mood.
But cutting up gummies wasn’t always easy — or consistent — so I founded Zeno with a talented team from the cannabis & wellness industries. We share the belief that THC can be so much more than a buzz (or a buzzkill).
Our mission is driven by the first-hand experience that ultra-low doses are actually the best way to bring the benefits of cannabis to the world.
We invite you to join us, to shake off the stresses of modern life, and to recover your balanced, vibrant self. |

Hi! My name is Jake Murzy. I am based in San Francisco but I frequently travel on the East Coast and around the globe.
I spent 15 years of my career as a multidisciplinary tech entrepreneur building and leading tech startups. I have an inner drive — obsession is probably the right word — to learn, to reach higher, and to be better. My most impactful learnings emerged from my failed experiments.
I like twisting problems around in my head until I come up with a solution. This usually follows a rabbit-hole styled personalized learning, and I believe, is the reason my early quest has taken an inevitable turn toward a general interest in technology and startups.
I picked up coding at a young age. What started as curiosity about computers, quickly turned into a passion. In software, to abstract a problem correctly, you must approach it from first principles. This allows you to remove your existing biases and preconceived notions so that you can reduce the number of failed observations to produce a robust solution. As it turns out, this is also amenable to other distinct aspects of building a startup, from ideation to shipping to scaling.
I’m a huge proponent of functional programming paradigms and reactive design patterns and take a pragmatic approach to understand the flow of data.
That being said, at one point in my life, coding was an exercise I truly couldn’t do without. But over the years I’ve come to realize that a thick portion of my time was best spent empowering my team and asking them probing questions to stimulate their efficiency and productivity.
I do, however, try to contribute to open-source and write occasional posts[1][2], and actively write and do code reviews at my startup.
I am currently working on Committer. Committer is building financial products for software teams. Our mission is to free smart people to focus on what matters. I am looking to bring on a technical and a business cofounder to our team. So if you know anyone who'd be a good fit, please let me know.
I like creating great products with great people. I am very passionate about transforming ideas from paper and the mind into strategically sound functional products. As a stakeholder, I take frequent pauses throughout the day to reflect on my actions to stay resourceful and steer clear of roadblocks. As with most other things, small steps upwards make a compound difference in how great products are built.
I'm not by any means a designer by trade, but I have always had a good eye for gratifying design and detail, and a passion for creating high fidelity mockups. I also consume more design content than I probably should have and my work is inspired by and shamelessly borrow elements from creatives that share their artistic process.
I often try to hold two opposing viewpoints at the same time. So most of the noise I put into writing reads like academic-speak. This does not mean I’m confused. It just means I have a divergence, hopefully temporary, in my mind map and I’m on a discovery path to reach a stronger node with a sounder argument.
I love mentoring others in their own journey towards self discovery and I am always seeking out opportunities to adopt new mentors for my own personal learning—which is the best way to cut your time to success by a competitively substantial amount. I tend to overcommunicate the obvious as I found that it is one trait shared by most great mentors.
I occasionally invest in startups where I believe the business has the potential to become a category king. I'm expecting to do 1-3 small check investments (seed and pre-seed deals) this year.
Outside of work, I spent a big slice of my time dreaming about a lengthy getaway to my favorite island Ko Yao Yai and planning trips to other remote places to partake in new cultural experiences.
I enjoy all outdoor activities but there’s nothing like finishing a tough work week, then gliding over hard-packed snow and feeling the stress melt away. I normally snowboard but this year started skiing too. Very recently, my winter withdrawals also reignited my interest in surfing to help with the imbalance.
I'm married to the fabulously adorable Julia Qiu. She is a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix. Aside from all the “chores”, traveling and shredding we do together, Julia and I try to work on side projects in the time remaining when her schedule is at peace with mine. Our latest two projects are NDAify and Slope Ninja.
You know, before I let you go, I can't write about myself and not mention how much I love JavaScript. Friends don’t let friends use [insert your lanuage of choice that isn’t JavaScript]. All jokes aside, you should use JavaScript. There's this great talk from 2014 (8 years old and still relevant) titled The Birth & Death of JavaScript that you ought to watch before trying to convince me to use your language of choice that doesn't at least emit JavaScript. Emphasis being on "emit", TypeScript is alright, lame but alright. Especially, if you can decouple yourself from the TypeScript community full of transplants with background in object-oriented languages. Just take TypeScript with a grain of salt.

As a general partner on Spark’s growth team, James is focused on partnering with founders building fintech and software platforms across industry sectors. James joined Spark from Allen & Company, where he advised numerous high-growth private and public technology companies such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Roku on M&A and capital raising. James’s career began in his childhood and teenage years as an actor, performing as Gavroche in Les Misérables on Broadway among many other theatre, TV and movie roles.
He believes that some of the most important insights about a company come from listening intently to customers and marrying that with the founder’s vision of the future. This has led to an interest in founders building in historically underserved software markets such as logistics and real estate, for example, where founders acutely understand their customer’s pain points and are uniquely positioned to serve them versus adjacent horizontal players.
Working with growth-stage companies, James provides unwavering support to founders as they navigate the most critical decisions that lie ahead through all phases of a company’s trajectory.
James graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Outside of Spark, he enjoys jazz music and is an aspiring bogey golfer. |

Product-Building Recognition:
• 2009, Fences: "It wasn't five minutes after installing Fences I realized I'd be using it for the rest of my computing life. It's that good." ~PCWorld
• 2011, Bins: "Bins is so tightly integrated it feels more like a set of new features than a separate application. For a system utility, that is a compliment of the highest order." ~PCWorld
• 2013, PhotoDrive: "The gestures are really natural and intuitive, unlike some apps where you struggle to learn the new interactions. Here, you immediately just get it. And as soon as you do, you realize Apple’s Photos app is lacking." ~TechCrunch
• 2015, Flickr Camera Roll: "Flickr may have my favorite twist on 3D Touch so far, with a slight change to how peek works. As soon as you try it, you wonder why Apple didn't figure this out in the first place." ~The Verge |

I started my career as a history teacher in Elmwood Park Illinois not far from where I grew up. I moved to the Bay Area in 2000 where I was inspired by all of the Founders working on their ideas. I found a way to use my teaching experience and desire to improve education to support these Founders. I co-founded my first fund NewSchools Seed Fund in 2011 and co-founded my second Reach Capital I in 2015, Reach Capital II in 2018, Reach III in 2020 and Reach Opportunity in 2021. These funds back amazing Founders who are passionate about creating exceptional tools for teachers, engaging curriculum for kids and support for parents. I think of myself as a Founder behind the Founders and love that I get to support these amazing innovators every day.
I currently sit on the Boards of Outschool, Stellic, Derivita, Desmos, SeeSaw and BookNook and previously Nearpod, Education Elements, Ellevation.
I also serve on the Board of Castilleja School in Palo Alto and Kind Hearts, a local organization to serve the Bay Area's most vulnerable populations.
Finally, I still get to teach sometime and am currently lecturing with Steve Blank, Steve Weinstein and Tom Bedeccare for the Lean Launchpad Class at Stanford.

Jenny is a General Partner at Freestyle. After graduating from Wharton undergrad and working as a CPA in NYC, Jenny became disillusioned with corporate life. She quit her job, backpacked around the world for a year, and landed in Palo Alto. She worked at a consumer software company where she launched its Internet division (yes, it was 1997!) and lived through its IPO. This experience got her hooked on the Valley way – combining big ideas, smart people, hard work, and a little bit of luck – and great things will ensue.
She then went to Stanford business school, but dropped out after her first year to co-found her first company, WeddingChannel.com (acquired: XOXO), aggregating gift registries of all the major retailers, and after that, Bella Pictures (acquired: CPI). She later angel invested in, consulted for, and/or advised great entrepreneurs and companies such as Discord, Minted, MainStreetHub, and others before joining Freestyle.
She loves what she does at Freestyle which is meeting with incredible entrepreneurs on a daily basis and hustling alongside her portfolio companies. She also gets tremendous joy from being a founding and board member of All Raise, a non-profit dedicated to increasing diversity in tech.
During her time offline, she loves to spend time with her husband, three kids, and their puppy. She also hikes, travels, scuba dives, reads loads of non-fiction, and spends time with people who broaden her view of the world and make her laugh (preferably, a lot!) |

My story starts in 2011. The year I graduated college.
I was in my last semester at Sonoma State University. I was one of those young people that aspired to play Major League Baseball. It was my dream.
However, life had a different plan. While I was fortunate enough to play in college, professional baseball was not in my cards.
I found myself needing to shift gears and find a new career path since I was a hop, skip, and a jump away from graduating. Luckily, I had a stellar professor who illuminated a career path that aligned with my interests and skillset: marketing.
Marketing (business in general) became my obsession. I devoured every book, video, and blog post I could get my hands on about the topic. I analyzed keynotes by people like Gary Vaynerchuk, Seth Godin, and Rand Fishkin.
I found a replacement for baseball. Funny enough, business is a lot like a sport.
As fait would have it, I would get my shot at becoming a marketing profession when I join a small tech startup in San Francisco in 2013. For the next 7+ years I would find myself at several early-stage startups sharpening my marketing skills.
At the same time as my marketing career was taking off, I had an interesting experience that would become the foundation of what I do today with Startups Give Back and Changemaker Studios.
Prior to 2013, I was with a large company. This company, like many companies of its size, had a lot of resources (money and people).
However, not one time did we ever give back to our community. No donations. No volunteering. Nothing.
When I left that company and joined the early-stage startup in 2013, my colleagues and I went out and volunteered. It was essentially a “welcome to the team!” type of event. We would do this for every new class of employees that joined the company.
Fast forward a few months after my start date. I was reflecting on my current situation and the previous company I came from. For the life of me, I couldn’t wrap my head around how my current company, which had very limited resources, was able to do more for the community than my previous company, which had plenty of resources.
That one moment in time is what put me on the path of creating Startups Give Back and everything that has come after it.
The rest, as they say, is history. |

Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn profile. I don't accept invitations from people that only write "I'd like to join your LinkedIn network".
My name is Jeroen Morrenhof and I work with a great group of people to provide an innovative SaaS solution in the InsurTech space. At FRISS we support insurers to
- Generate profitable growth with an effective and efficient u/w process
- Prevent and detect fraudulent claims and therefore reduce loss ratio
- Be and Stay compliant with all regulations regarding KYC, CDD and determining UBO, and
- Support an effective investigation process.
As the CEO of the company I am privileged to lead FRISS in the direction of our BHAG: “In 2025 the FRISS Score© is the global trusted standard for honest insurance”. My daily job has various roles, I am recruiter (we are always hiring), salesperson (we are striving to become the world market leader), firefighter (growing fast comes with pains), customer support champion (we strive to be notably appreciated by our customers) and decider (sometimes I will make the final call when no one else will or can).
Get in touch with us today for a short introduction and understanding on how FRISS is supporting over 50 insurers across the globe with the questions above and how we can help you to be up and running in 8 to 12 weeks and have a return on investment within 12 months.
Personal note:
I love to work out. This can be training for a triathlon or trying to win a soccer match with my team at Sporting Martinus. Beside that I love to spend time with my family (three kids) and a great wife that are a great support in running my business. The time we have left is spend by travelling the globe.

Jess Joss is the President of Equation, a joint venture that brings together four angel investment networks, Co-founder of Insiteful Solutions, and Partner in Spyder Capital Corporation. Leveraging more than 20 years of business leadership, entrepreneurial expertise and investment experience, she played a pivotal role in the realization of Equation, and its impactful investment collaboration.
Jess’s passion for entrepreneurship was ignited during university when she founded a web development company that continues to thrive today. As the founder, she grew the business, evolving and scaling the business into an integrated online marketing firm. In 2001, with a proven business model, established revenue streams and new partners, Jess shifted her focus from leading Insiteful Solutions to investing in high-growth startups. With extensive business experience, Board and volunteer management expertise, Jess was appointed Executive Director of the York Angel Investors (YAI) in 2014. This built directly on her strong track record as an active angel investor with the group for many years.
Capitalizing on her entrepreneurial, business, and marketing acumen, Jess worked with the YAI team to grow membership by over 450 percent, and significantly increase deal flow, the number of deals completed, and amount invested per deal. This renewed energy and motivation earned YAI the honour of being ranked among the top five angel investor networks in Canada in 2015 and 2016; and first place in 2017 and 2018. During this period, YAI established the largest membership of angel investors in Ontario and second largest membership in Canada. Jess completed her work with YAI at the end of June 2019, preparing an opportunity that combined her investment and entrepreneurial passion.
In October 2019, Jess led the launch of Equation. This strategic alliance brings together three venerable angel groups: Angel One (Burlington), Golden Triangle Angel Network or GTAN (Kitchener-Waterloo) and the Southwestern Ontario Angel Network or SWO (London). Recently, WECAN (Windsor) has become Powered by Equation. This angel network is now the largest in Ontario, and second largest in Canada. Equation provides streamlined screening, pitching and due diligence for founders who are raising equity funding. And for the almost 200 member investors, it creates a unique opportunity to gain early and exclusive access to the most promising companies; negotiate the best deals; and make nimble investments. This is a stimulating and challenging role, and Jess enjoys working closely with amazing colleagues, angels and ecosystem partners.
During this time, Jess continues to demonstrate leadership and make critical contributions to Canada’s entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem. She fosters early-stage innovation by coaching and mentorship; serving as a speaker at entrepreneurship and investment events; and judging pitch competitions. She was also elected to the NACO Board in October 2017, where she serves as the member of the Team Enhancement (HR) and Finance Committees. She also served as Chair of the 2018 NACO World Angel Investment Summit (Conference).
A passionate connector of people, technology and opportunity, and fueled by a love of entrepreneurship, mentorship and angel investing, Jess works closely with ecosystem partners, dedicated angels and game-changing young companies looking to grow. She is committed to driving growth, customer, revenue and capital acquisition, exceptional exits, community and economic development. Building directly on these objectives, she maintains the transparency of the angel investment process, while cultivating collaboration, community engagement and deals. |

Jessica Stone is a San Francisco Bay Area singer-songwriter, and also an early executive at Pandora, the popular internet radio company. Upon departing Pandora in 2012 after eight years, Stone went right to work on her third album, entitled “Songs For Wyatt.” This 2013 release is Jessica’s first foray into children’s music, and a welcome contribution to the genre. Working with producer/guitarist David Dans, she delivers traditional songs in fresh, modern arrangements with her signature clear, warm vocals. Her toddler son, Wyatt, was her muse for this project and he appears on the record in the delightful ABC song.
In 2009, Stone delivered her sophomore album, Melting, a collection of nine original songs and two Willie Nelson covers. Produced by Jon Evans of San Pablo Recorders in Berkeley CA, Melting is a sophisticated blend of pop, jazz and folk, with heavily acoustic arrangements that were recorded and mixed in an intimate style. The record was mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios.
Jessica released her first record, Seven Letters, in 2002, which garnered indie acclaim. She was selected as one of Femmusic’s Top Five Independent Solo Artists, and she she received Independent Songwriter Magazine’s ‘Best Independent Songwriter on the Internet’ and ‘Best Website’ awards. Jessica’s song ‘Got To Be Me’ spent over 10 days at #1 on the MP3.com AAA chart in the US, and was a finalist theme song for Sports Illustrated Women’s Magazine’s. The title track ‘Seven Letters’ made it into heavy rotation on an Oakland, CA radio station and other songs were spun on college radio and internet radio across the country.
Prior to releasing Seven Letters, Jessica graduated from the LA Music Academy in Pasadena, CA and founded Maidenstone Music, her record label and publishing company. With a five-person band based in the Los Angeles area, Jessica performed at the Knitting Factory, Genghis Cohen, and The Derby in Hollywood, the Poetry Café in London, and at Marz, and The Crocodile in Tokyo among other venues.
Jessica Stone’s original music is not easily classified along traditional genre lines. Raised in a folk-music tradition, she combines strong melodic hooks, harmonies, and singer-songwriter style lyrics with occasionally complex meter and sometimes jazzy chord progressions. Jessica’s songwriting style ranges from straight-ahead pop tunes to country ballads, folk tunes and jazz standards. Her vocal delivery is intimate – at times soft, warm, and suggestive, and at other times high, clear, and sweet. Jessica Stone is not a powerhouse vocalist, but her honest, pure vocals will enchant you – alternatively making you cry, dance, and lean in for another listen. |

I'm also an investor in OperatorVC, a seed-stage sector-agnostic angel fund set up and run by founders themselves (hence the name Operator).
I write on business, technology, startups, and everything in between, at https://jitha.me/
Previously, I was Director-New Segments & Strategy at Indifi Technologies. Indifi is India's leading SME lending platform, funded by top-tier VCs including Accel Partners, Elevar Equity, and Omidyar Network.
Prior to this, I co-founded Rouse Digital, a Mumbai-based startup building products to help brands in India build customer loyalty.
I also have 7+ years of strategy consulting experience, first as an Engagement Manager with the Monitor Group (strategy consulting firm), and then as an Associate Director (External) at FSG (a mission-driven consulting firm focused on social change). Both firms, incidentally, were started by Michael Porter.
Across these two stints in consulting, I've worked with business leaders at several of India's largest companies in Auto, FMCG and other industries, on new market entry, growth strategy, marketing, etc. I've also worked on market-based solutions to social problems, primarily in the fields of sanitation and family planning, including on a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Today, apart from my role at Luxasia, I also write on entrepreneurship and business at jitha.me, drawing on my experiences with early stage companies, as well as my stints in consulting. The focus is to help current and aspiring entrepreneurs start and run their businesses better. My articles have been featured in Yourstory, Rediff, Mattermark Daily and other publications.

I'm a believer of radical generosity and I've built a company around making meaningful connections to help people succeed.
Previously I was the Executive Director of C100 Association, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Canadian entrepreneurs connect into Silicon Valley, where I built an extensive network across Canada's startup ecosystem along with an influential network in the Valley.
I am passionate about supporting women in tech and I have formed the Canadian Women’s Network in the Valley to advise female founders and help women in technology roles gain deeper connections into Silicon Valley.
I grew up along the 59th parallel in Northern Alberta. My career has been everything but a straight line. I realized that the my "normal", living in the Bay Area since 1999, is not normal outside of the bubble I now call "home" ... but I love it! The pace, the ideas, the excitement, and the urgency that exists here is addictive. And we get shit done.
I have always enjoyed connecting people and becoming passionate about their purpose, so I'm excited to see where there are synergies. |

I craft and cultivate healthy and diverse teams focused on massively scaled public facing services.
I've spent the last two decades building and scaling very large consumer-facing website infrastructure, managed infrastructure teams at Google, was one of the first pre-acquisition site reliability engineers at YouTube, the first infrastructure engineer at Dropbox, and led the infrastructure teams at Docker, and Reddit.
My philosophy:
• Build something simple that works, solves the minimal problem, and can be iterated upon by the next person. That next person may be you.
• Evolve chaotic systems and processes toward order. Make every day better than yesterday. Big migrations are sometimes necessary but usually aren’t.
• Recruit. Solve your own problem. Share adventure and joy with others.
• You are the culture. Lead by example. Meet someone new, today. Never eat lunch at your desk – especially when it’s free.
• Practice empathy toward your co-workers and users. They’re depending on you. |

I’m an experienced entrepreneur, investor and operator who thrives on being ‘in the Arena’ (h/t Teddy Roosevelt) and leading teams. I am intrinsically motivated by ‘winning with friends’ and I love the bonds that form when a group of people struggles together to do the seemingly impossible.
I co-founded one of the first Internet search engines, Excite.com in 1993, taking it public in 1996 and selling it in 2000 ($6.7Bn transaction). In 2004, I co-founded a second company, JotSpot, focused on collaboration, and sold it to Google in 2006. I helped to scale up Google Ventures (GV) in 2009 where I was a General Partner for 10 years investing in mostly Transportation (companies like Turo, KeepTruckin' Flock Freight and Lime) and Marketplaces (StockX, Peerspace).
Currently, I’ve returned to operating as President of Lime where I oversee Product, including all hardware design, engineering, supply chain and logistics and all software product management, research, design and engineering. Lime is working to return cities everywhere to being about their people, not their cars, and in doing so, we’re striving to help on the most important problem of our time, climate. |

With experience in all aspects of software product development, and on project sizes from solo to hundreds, I love diving into what makes teams and products great.
People * Process * Product
* Skilled at identifying, growing and nurturing talent, establishing and improving process and culture
* Pioneer in automation, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, eCommerce and digital delivery
* Experience growing and running teams serving millions of users
* Skilled at design and architecture techniques, scalability, security, simplifying the complex, finding the fun
* Public speaker, clear written communications, published author, multiple patents
Things I know to be true:
* People are generally bad at math, and intuition often fails us
* Measuring is better than estimating
* All working complex systems started as simple working systems
* The best development quality and speed occurs when the work is small enough to fit in one persons head
* Every development methodology and architecture is the result of compensating for when work can’t fit in one head due to challenges with project size, complexity, continuity or competency
* Changes in methodology and architecture are sometimes like diets: They appear to work at first primarily because more attention is being paid. It is the attention that matters most, not the structure. You can make anything work with enough attention and effort, but is that effort and attention being put in the right place? |

I'm an entrepreneur focused on big problems in climate change and healthcare.
I'm the founder of Simple Health, one of the largest telemedicine platforms in the US. We help millions of women access birth control and other reproductive health products. Previously I cofounded Sols Systems, a pioneer in 3D printing of medical devices which was sold to Aetrex in 2015. During COVID-19 I helped launch Frontline Foods, a grassroots non-profit that raised and deployed $11M to feeding frontline workers and effected communities using local restaurants (World Central Kitchen merged the organization into their permanent programs in July 2020).
I'm an active early stage investor with >40 companies. I focus primarily on Healthcare, and now climatetech, and am often the first outside capital into the company and help to sharpen the vision and business model. Some of my notable investments include Parsley Health, Everlywell, Mindbloom and C16Bio.
Prior to startups, I was part of General Electric's prestigious IT leadership program (IMLP) and its financial and operational auditing program (Corporate Audit Staff). During my time there I led large scale IT implementations and performed operational and financial audits of GE businesses with a focus on acquisition integrations.
Outside of work, I'm an avid mountaineer, backpacker and traveler who has visited more than 40 countries and only been excluded from one. |

Capital structures change. The longevity of technology advantage can now be measured in weeks. What truly endures for a modern company, big or small, is not its technology at any given moment; it is its people at every given moment. The ability to lead well and gain for the shareholders the compounded value of individuals working together across the enterprise is the successful manager’s greatest attribute and my proven strength.
My passion now is taking that experience and putting it to work on behalf of first-time entrepreneurs, early-stage start-ups, angels, family offices, tech transfer offices and others who want to grow, generate value and have an impact on their community. I do so as investor, co-founder, board member/advisor and business partner.

As the only child of an immigrant single mother, I’ve been chasing meaning and fulfillment my entire career. I did all the things society told me to do: pursue a white shoe finance job, work 9-5, and keep your head down - but something inside me kept saying,
Is this it? Is this all I’m supposed to be?
And that’s when content creation came along.
While growing my first 10k followers on TikTok, I realized that I loved being my own boss, setting my own hours, and pursuing my own passion. But I also learned just how difficult it was to try to start a Creator business on top of creating content.
There was no easy way to monetize my following directly and I didn’t want to sellout to big brands.
And that’s why I started Stan.
Stan is the all-in-one, business-in-a-box I wish I had when I first started creating.
Stan automates all of the ‘business stuff’ so that you can spend your time doing what you love - creating great content.
We’re on a mission to empower anyone to make a living working for themselves and we’re grateful you’re here. We’re blessed everyday to get to enable you to do what you love, and we’re passionate about becoming the pioneering platform for the future of work.
Creating content is really hard. Stan is here to help you breathe just a little bit easier. |

John Yi is the son of a South Korean immigrant. His parents instilled an entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge of the restaurant industry in him from a young age.
John's first company was a dog-walking business, which he founded with his brother when he was 8 years old.
After this, he and his brother followed in their parents’ footsteps by holding various roles in the restaurant industry - ranging from host to manager.
In college, John had the opportunity to work with a number of business owners and entrepreneurs through his role as a project manager at the Chicago Board of Trade.
This further reinforced his entrepreneurial itch and pushed John and his brother to start NextME, a mobile app for businesses and event organizers to manage waitlists and get more customers through the door. They have been featured in Ameritrade, The Eater, Food & Wine Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune.
John also serves as a mentor at DePaul University's Coleman Entrepreneurship Center and is an advisor at The Garage, Northwestern University's hub for student entrepreneurship and innovation. |

15+ years in the digital commerce trenches.
Started my first company in college and bootstrapped it to the fourth fastest growing retailer in the country (according to Inc. Magazine) -- and 2nd fastest growing company in Charlotte -- before successfully exiting.
Raised angel money and participated in the seed round for my second company which was also recognized as the 2nd fastest growing company in Charlotte. Sigh. |

Jonathan offers extensive experience in creating value in marketing services and technology companies and realizing that value through strategic exits. He began his career launching a company that offered custom databases to marketers, which he successfully sold. In 1991, he founded Syntony Marketing Inc., a database services company serving the North American direct marketing community. After six years of 100%+ annual growth, Syntony was sold to InfoUSA and Jonathan became Canadian President. In 2004, Jonathan acquired Uthink, an online marketing and market research company targeting the student demographic, which he sold in 2008. In the first two years, Uthink went from a loss to 7-figure profitability.
He served as Director of the Canadian Marketing Association, founded and chaired the CMA’s Marketing Technology and Database Intelligence Council, and served on the CMA’s Ethics and Privacy Committee. Jonathan has an MBA from Ivey and is a MaRS volunteer advisor, mentoring local entrepreneurs.
Jonathan has since turned his attention to helping fellow entrepreneurs with a focus on identifying, and bringing to a successful conclusion, mutually beneficial exits. |

Jonathan has always known the power of data. He’s used it to model and predict NFL and NBA games in college, and even optimize nutrition and workout plans so he could host bootcamp classes in Central Park. He took his data prowess to LinkedIn when he made the move to the West Coast, and now uses innovative analytics to help Telstra Ventures make faster, more informed decisions with less bias, and to discover the next set of “unknown” companies before they become the next big thing. His work has not only made a tremendous impact, but it’s out of this world, just how he hopes to be — given his life-long dream to be the first person to walk on Mars. |

Over the course of 4 decades on this beautiful planet I have been lucky enough to travel to many places, in many different group settings (solo, as couple, as a family and in groups of various sizes), and in many different styles (hitch hiking, camping, hostels, driving, multi-week treks to name a few).
Recently I find myself either traveling with an "entourage" of our family with 4 kids (aka happy chaos), or on business trips for kimkim, scouting new destinations & experiences and visiting local operators in places like Iceland and Nepal. Isn't this the way business travel was always meant to be? 🙂 When I am home, I love to run the trails near Palo Alto.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"The past 10 years California has been my home. I love to explore Bay Area hiking trails with my wife and kids during the weekends, and we go to great outdoor places like Tahoe, Yosemite and Pinnacles whenever we have a chance. I'm also very familiar with the Swiss Alps, and have been to Nepal 7 times, and have recently started to focus on Iceland and other early kimkim destinations "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I grew up in the Netherlands. Since it's such a small country you don't had to drive far to go to neighboring countries, so I got an early taste for visiting other countries, like France, Switzerland and Belgium. Over time I got into more adventurous travel and ended up doing some really adventurous trips including a year of working in South East Asia before going to college. I also did a lot of trekking and climbing in the Himalayas."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"During a year I spent in South East Asia I had many unforgettable travel experiences. One of the highlights of that year was hitch hiking on a sailing boat from Manilla to Hong Kong on the South China Sea. I had bought a one way ticket to the Philippines and hoped catch a ride with a yacht... I showed up in the Manilla harbor and found a boat who needed crew... This was a 4 day trip I will never forget.
But I should also mention my climbing expeditions in the Himalayas, and many closer to home adventures with my kids." |

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” - Mohammad Ali

I currently serve as the Dean of Pierson College, which is one of 14 undergraduate residential learning communities at Yale University. In that role, I foster the academic and personal wellbeing of over 500 students. I also have an appointment as a lecturer at the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I teach ENAS 403: Funding It: Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Venture Capital.
Before higher education, I worked as a venture capital investor. I’m an investor in several startups and a limited partner in a venture capital fund-of-funds.
My teaching and coaching focus on new venture creation, entrepreneurship, and venture capital. I work with undergraduates and seasoned investors alike, and the material I teach runs the gamut from investing fundamentals to advanced concepts.
I started in the venture capital business at Silas Capital, where I served as an original member of the investment team. My focus there was identifying and partnering with talented entrepreneurs building early-stage consumer brands.
I enjoy mentoring entrepreneurs and do a fair amount of it on my own and through my association with the likes of Techstars, the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale, and Endeavor, and others. My mentoring relationships focus on helping companies with product, fundraising, and go-to-market. I also serve as the Chairman of the Board of HBCUvc, a non-profit whose mission is to increase the racial and ethnic diversity in venture capital.
I came to venture capital from a career as a trial attorney. Fun fact: I'm one of the few investors you'll meet who is also a registered patent attorney. |

https://about.me/joshelman |
I love building products and delivering them to millions (or billions?!) of customers and users. I've been lucky to have worked on many products that I still use today, and always enjoy jamming on products.
In my career I've been an early PM leading growth and engagement teams (Twitter, LinkedIn), launched big platforms (Facebook Connect/Login), and as VP Product at Robinhood I helped more than double the userbase, revenue, and product/design/marketing teams.
I've also been a Venture Capitalist, investing in the consumer space. As a General Partner at Greylock Partners, I led investments in SmartThings (acquired by Samsung in 2014), Musical.ly - now Tiktok (acquired by Toutiao in 2017), Jelly (acquired by Pinterest in 2017) and Houseparty (acquired by Epic/Fortnite in 2018). I'm currently a Venture Partner and on the board of Medium, Discord, and Mammoth Media.
I started my career as an engineer and leading the development team for RealPlayer, which in the early 2000s served audio and video to hundreds of millions. |

Josh is an experienced product leader who backs founders committed to big ideas and conscious team-building.
Josh works with technical entrepreneurs building fast-scaling, enduring technology across fintech, commerce infrastructure and marketplaces.
Josh joined Greylock in 2017, and has led investments in Splitwise, Coinbase and two unannounced companies, and is a board director at Ribbon and Payjoy.
Josh is an experienced product leader and company-builder. In 2009, as an entrepreneur in residence at Greylock, he co-founded TellApart, a company that applied data analytics and predictive modeling to the field of marketing. Josh and his team grew TellApart into a $150+ million annual revenue business. In 2015, TellApart was acquired by Twitter for more than $500 million – the largest deal in the company’s acquisition history. He then served as Twitter’s VP of Product and oversaw all of the company’s revenue-generating lines, including advertising, data services and customer support applications.
“I am drawn to founders who have equal parts grit and grandiosity.”
The son of a coal miner, Josh grew up in Gillette, Wyoming and arrived in Silicon Valley in 1997, when the dotcom bubble was in full swing. He first began working with startups as an intern while attending Stanford, where he was a Mayfield Fellow. He went on to work at several startups full-time – including a few that didn’t survive the burst of said bubble – before finally landing a job at Google (for which he had to conquer a gauntlet of 23 interviews over 18 months before getting hired.) There, Josh quickly built his reputation as a product leader and helped found the Adwords API team, a project which won Google’s highest honor – the Founder’s Award.
Josh’s experience working within both rapidly-scaling (and sometimes rapidly-failing) companies, as well as those that became iconic industry leaders, shaped what he looks for in entrepreneurs. He loves to work with technical founders who are unwaveringly committed to their goals and open-minded to feedback.
“Great ideas are critically important, but you also have to understand how to put people together to achieve more,” says Josh. “Startups are a classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.”
In addition to his work with startups, Josh is active in charitable organizations, having founded the digital arm and served as a board member at the gift and education nonprofit, Family Giving Tree. He enjoys teaching his two children outdoor sports such as skiing and snowboarding and is also involved in laser production for large-scale electronic music performances. |

Just before my senior year, I left Princeton University to build Branch Media, which was backed by the founders of Twitter and Buzzfeed. Our company designed experimental social products, such as Branch and Potluck, that aimed to foster more thoughtful conversations on the internet. Branch's software was embedded within New York Times articles, used by retired Army Generals, and even broke big news about Apple's iPhone design.
In January 2014, Facebook bought Branch. While at Facebook, I worked on the development of new consumer-facing products and features. In August 2015, I left Facebook to accept a role in President Obama's Administration.
Starting in September 2015, I served as the White House's first Director of Product. Of the projects that I created and led, my favorite work included:
* An affordable diaper program for low-income families - it cut prices by over fifty percent for the neediest parents (using a strategy that was economically sustainable for participating businesses). Millions of diapers were shipped to low-income families in the first six months alone, and some non-profits were able to double the number of diapers they could provide with the same amount of funding.
* The first-ever government bot on Facebook, which President Obama has personally responded to messages from. By allowing citizens to message the President on Facebook in the same way that they message their friends, we set new volume records for inbound citizen correspondence.
* A civic engagement initiative that mobilized tens of thousands of Americans to donate (millions) to refugee relief efforts in the Middle East. Working with Kickstarter, Instacart and others, the aim was to make civic engagement as easy as your pushing a single button on your phone. The New York Times dubbed it, "a 21st-century twist on humanitarian assistance" and "a cunning way to work around the do-nothing corridors of official Washington."
As a political appointee, I left the White House in January 2017. For the rest of that year I was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Thrive Capital, exploring how technology can better serve all Americans. In 2018, I became a full-time Investor at Thrive, incubating and investing in new technology companies.
Originally from Santa Monica, CA, I have lived in New York, London, and Washington D.C. I am twenty-eight years old and a proud donor to KCRW, Doctors Without Borders, Coalition for Queens, and Mr. Fulcher's African-American literature class at Santa Monica High School (my alma mater). |

I am interested in building all things digital. Most recently I've been developing cryptocurrency mining ASICs.
I have broad knowledge and experience in computer and digital software and systems at all levels from web/desktop apps to operating systems to digital architectures to firmware to RTL to analog circuits, and even some device physics.
The solution begins with architecture and team organization, as good choices there will set a sound vector for subsequent work. Physics provides the mathematical skills to analyze systems and behaviors and also to solve problems that have a physical component. I like learning and love to work in newly developing areas, hence my current work in BlockChain.
Computer science means I am quick to pick up programming languages and systems. I know talent and am good at hiring strong teams. Many years of engineering business experience especially in IP licensing and contract negotiation.
I am a hands-on architect and like working on ASIC, SOC or FPGA design, verification, and firmware. But I am also interested in purely software projects, especially mobile and single page web apps. |

My name is Julian and I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Headroom, which is my 5th startup. My last startup was bought by Google, which is where I developed an approach to better meetings that we've now built tools for.
Anyone else struggling with the brave new world of Remote Work and Virtual Meetings? Want to stay connected in a way that makes it feel like you are right there together, but work from anywhere and not be tied down? Anyone else love to travel, and want to work to live, not live to work? Are you done with back-to-back meetings all day, an evening of meeting follow-ups and Zoom Fatigue?
With my family and Headroom remote-first startup colleagues scattered around the world, using the latest video-conferencing tools and real-time AI technology to combat the tyranny of time and distance, is both what we need for our tech startup, and what we build for other startups and entrepreneurs.
Your startup could use Headroom to make your team stronger, more efficient and connected:
- Have better, more inclusive meetings, where transcripts, note-taking, talk time analytics, meeting engagement feedback, video replays and highlight reel summaries are all automated by real-time AI, so you can concentrate on the people, not the meeting mechanics.
- Save hours each day by not going to meetings and getting just the meeting information you need from them.
- Never forget important meeting information again, with a searchable, shareable private record of your meetings.
If shortening and improving the hours you spend in meetings, and having more to show from a day of meetings than a few chicken scratches on a notepad, sounds like a good idea, try www.goheadroom.com for free today.
If you are interested in finding out more about Headroom, would like a job at our Product Led Growth SaaS startup, or together can help shape the Future of Work and Remote Work Tools, please make a personalized connection request, or follow me. |

Failure. I can almost guarantee you that no one has mentioned failure in a LinkedIn profile, but we all have experienced some along the way. However, that is not what we present to the world. Moreover, if you have ever tried your hand at a startup, there is a good chance you have failed. According to Fortune and Forbes, 80%-90% of startups fail. You are way more likely to fail than succeed. Been there done that. So, why do so many new businesses fail? This question is what we are going to explore in The Failure Report. We talk to accomplished entrepreneurs to find out about their missteps, so you will learn what NOT to do to succeed in your startup.
While I have been successful in my career in sales/business development for radio stations in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York and later for the New York State Restaurant Association and wine companies, Entrepreneurship has been a bit more challenging.... After surviving cancer, I co-authored the book Lerner's Consumer Guide to Health Care, for which I was featured in The New York Times business section as well as a five-part series on NBC's Today Show with Katie Couric. I founded WineFlirt, a wine newsletter targeting millennial women, and EatDrinkJobs, an employment platform for the hospitality industry. I was featured in Business Insider and was a finalist in Women 2.0. Ultimately, "fails" 1, 2, 3. I have now moved to the investing side as an Angel Investor with 37 Angels, specializing in the food and beverage sector. I am learning from rock star entrepreneurs every day.

I am currently the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of CSC Generation Holdings, one of the dime a dozen "unicorn" start-ups.
*After being told that nobody would ever hire me, I quit the bureaucracy and negativity of Palos Verdes High School to start a marketplace for unlocked cell phones, which was acquired by a family office when I was 19 years old. More recently, I founded 500friends, the leading loyalty and retention marketing platform for retailers, which merged with Merkle in 2014, and was eventually acquired by Dentsu Aegis in 2016.
I also invest between $50k and $1M in interesting companies run by interesting people, eg:
*Consumer Internet Companies (excluding social networking): Hipmunk (seed, acquired by Concur), Dropoff (seed), Next Force Technology (seed), Dave (seed), Macro Ventures (seed), Imperfect Produce (seed), Flowclub (seed), Network Eyecare (seed)
*SaaS/b2b Companies: Firebase (seed - acquired by GOOG), Zencoder (seed - acquired by BCOV), BounceX (seed, co-lead Series A), Mux (seed), BigFinite (seed).
*Funds: Bling Capital, Ovo Fund, Luma Capital Partners, Dundee Venture Capital, Crown Capital Management.
Besides business and things I shouldn't be discussing on LinkedIn, I love animals, especially dogs, (many) cats (but especially Persian and Himalayan breeds), dolphins, whales, capybaras, platypus, manatees and turtles. Despite this, I am not a vegetarian, primarily because I lack self discipline. However, I do want to clarify that I do not eat any of the animals listed above, and would judge you for doing so, especially considering the prevalent belief that eating wild animals purchased at "Wet Markets" is what caused COVID (https://wildaid.org/protectwildlife/)
I've also been included in vanity lists such as the Forbes 30 under 30, Inc 500, AlwaysOn top 100, DM News 40 under 40, etc, but thankfully, I stopped advertising this in my LinkedIn headline when I was 19 after realizing I was being a DB. |

“Despite being in Palo Alto, I was pretty unaware of the magic of Silicon Valley while in school. A few fortuitous conversations later, here I am.”
I’m an investment partner at defy. As the child of Sudanese immigrants—one of whom built her business from the ground up—I have profound appreciation and respect for founders. I love meeting entrepreneurs in the earliest stages of their journey, and working alongside them as they pursue their own version of the American dream.
I cut my teeth in the business world as a consultant at Bain & Company, where I was fortunate to work with world-class leadership teams across different industries and at different stages of the company growth cycle. I supported a public tech company on its cloud strategy, a private consumer tech company experiencing hypergrowth (reaching $1B+ in annual sales in less than 5 years) on its complete org redesign, and legacy utility and built environment firms on performance improvement. While formally consulting with large companies at Bain, I informally advised friends who were at the earliest stages of building their own companies, leveraging the skills I picked up to offer support.
I entered early stage investing when I joined Aspect Ventures as the first outside hire. While there, I co-ran the seed practice and was heavily involved in 20+ deals across both consumer and enterprise, including Chime, The Mom Project, Later and Gusto. I also spent time at Gusto on the Business Development team, evaluating growth initiatives through potential company partnerships, alliances with large organizations and trade groups and new channel expansions. Most recently, I was a principal at Ridge Ventures where I invested in enterprise software, leading deals such as Codify and TrueRoll. I served on the board of Jyve and led the firm’s foray into B2B marketplaces and tech-enabled services.
I was born in Sudan, grew up in Philadelphia and attended Stanford for biomechanical engineering. Though I’d never set foot in California before my orientation, I had a blast, served on student government, ran our student store and was an RA in the largest dorm on campus. Because I had some unfinished business (winning an intramural championship) I returned to Stanford for my MBA in general management, and served on the Student-Alumni Council and co-chaired our class gift committee.
I’m extremely excited by the potential of technology to aid in the social, economic, and political development of emerging markets. I also love playing, watching and having my heart broken by sports, dreaming of a standup comedy career and learning about nearly everything.
I’m excited to be a part of the team at defy, working with amazing people and supporting great entrepreneurs building extraordinary companies. |

Enterprise software start-up veteran, with over 20 years of start-up experience. I work with my team and customers to translate vision into reality.
Everything I do and hope for the people around me is based on the Hero’s Journey and Scaling Impact. We all are on several journeys in life - personal journeys, career journeys, entrepreneurial journeys. You’re walking along in life and suddenly get thrown into a canyon filled with dragons. You suffer, you learn and you fight your way out to reach a higher plateau. Every journey’s progress should be measured. Doing 1% better every week equates to doubling impact every year. I seek to scale my company’s impact by leveraging network effects, increasing returns to scale, and trusting my team.
I founded Reciprocity with the vision to help companies govern the information security of their customers’ data. My funding philosophy is to raise money only if it safely accelerates shareholder value. In addition to running the company, I also started the Reciprocity Volunteer Foundation, and serve as an advisor to multiple startups. |

I'm an insurance broker specializing in the staffing industry and captive insurance. Sometimes people are a little confused about what a "broker" does. Quite simply, I work on behalf of businesses (the insurance buyer) in order to get the the most competitive price on their insurance without a reduction in coverage and to act as an advisor in the financing of risk. |

I cut my teeth as founding engineer at Higher One, a financial services company out of Yale that reached $1.2B on the NYSE. Before that I’d been a language major (I speak Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, and modest amounts of French and Hebrew) and art student (I was selling paintings by the time I was 16), but it was my coding hobby that landed me a job working for a friend’s startup, and I fell completely in love.
After seeing Higher One scale from 4 to 50+ employees and tens of millions in revenue, I decided I wanted to try out a bigger pond. I joined DoubleClick in 2004 as a Lead Engineer working on emerging technology R&D, where I led projects in search ad ranking optimization, multimedia ad tracking, in-stream video advertising, and cross-platform authoring tools.
When DoubleClick’s multi-billon-dollar acquisition by Google spawned AlleyCorp (Gilt Groupe, Business Insider, MongoDB, Zola…), I followed the DoubleClick founders and reprised my role as founding engineer, and later CTO, at ShopWiki, a shopping comparison search engine.
ShopWiki gave me my first taste of consumer software, and I fell in love all over again. In 2008 I left to co-found GameChanger Media, a mobile technology company serving the amateur sports market, which was acquired in 2016 by Dick’s Sporting Goods. I served as the founding CTO and Chief Product Officer, and as the company grew I made it my job to scale our team as COO.
Following GameChanger’s acquisition, and the 2016 US Presidential election, I set out to use my skills to try to address emerging social and political issues. I built two social applications designed to combat dysfunctional social media usage (Leap in 2017 and Squad in 2021), and consulted with various not-for-profit organizations promoting inclusivity and empathy. I also took on a strategy and writing role with LGBTQIA+ advertising agency The Mixx, where I successfully landed, and subsequently led a major brand refresh for, a Fortune 500 company.
I returned to tech in 2020 when I joined MongoDB’s marketing organization as head writer and content strategist, and later transitioned to Director of Product, Developer Experience. Reporting into the Chief Product Officer, I worked with Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Developer Relations to establish a vision for the holistic developer experience across MongoDB’s products. |

Voted "One to Watch in 2022", I drive innovative technology companies to achieve scale, accelerated growth and disruptive success through the strategic execution of enablement programs.
I lead UserZoom's global enablement function, driving the growth of its core revenue streams.
I regularly speak at conferences and seminars worldwide, discussing the latest trends and the future of the software industry. I am also an investor in multiple high-growth startups in the FinTech, HealthTech and Retail space.
Having created my first computer program at the age of 8, I have spent all of my adult life in the technology world driving the growth and acquisition of pre/post IPO companies. These companies include Vurv Technology (acquired by Taleo/Oracle) and SuccessFactors (acquired by SAP for $3.4bn), Taulia Inc (acquired by SAP for ~$1bn)), HighRadius (FinTech Unicorn), to large established blue-chips such as Adecco Group and SAP.
I have a passion for cars, specifically modern and classic British sports cars, and as a pianist produce my own music. |

I spent 8 years working for Sir Richard Branson and during this time I developed a clear understanding of how a single brand and visionary was able to scale 8 companies in disparate industries and geographies to a billion dollars or more of enterprise value. Specifically, Virgin’s approach at entering markets is driven by its focus on creating a sustainable value proposition to the consumer anchored in rapid product development, creative marketing strategies, and the power of brand.
I realized that these frameworks apply to the world outside of Virgin and the lessons I learned investing in Virgin Galactic, Virgin Pulse and Virgin Hotels served me well when we invested in Ring, Slack, and Capsule. I have brought these same lessons with me to M13, and it is exciting to find entrepreneurs who are attacking markets with the same perspective.
When meeting founders I am most focused on understanding their motivation. Did it come from a personal pain point? What triggered this particular path? What led them to this moment? Motivations are crucial as the odds are stacked against them yet these founders move forward with such singular focus to build something that endures.
I’ve been lucky to have some great moments in my career including witnessing Virgin Galactic reach space for the first time in the Mojave Desert and then enabling the public to participate in its growth through its SPAC merger. As a Series B investor in Ring, I worked closely with founder Jamie Siminoff and a great board of directors on its journey to a $1B exit to Amazon 3 years later.
We know this is a long game and being good partners to our founders is essential to our success. Reputation is all we have and it compounds over time. We look forward to earning ours. |

Laurie and I are extremely grateful for your interest in our campaign to build a pedestrian and bicycle bridge for the San Diego River Crossing at Mission Trails Regional Park where our son Max, 21, was found dead by drowning on January 30, 2021.
We want to honor his memory by advocating for, and helping to fund the construction of a pedestrian footbridge for the San Diego River Crossing. We want to ensure the safety of “people like Max”, fellow hikers, runners, cyclists, and first-time visitors alike – as no one else should ever die at this perilous crossing. We see no better way to use our energy, networks, and treasure than to improve the park for the benefit of all users for decades to come.
We partnered with The San Diego Foundation to launch the Max Lenail Memorial Bridge Fund on Max’s 22nd birthday, March 26, 2021. The fund is accepting tax-deductible donations, which are exclusively earmarked for the construction of the pedestrian bridge.
The Max LeNail Memorial Bridge project was unanimously approved by the Park Task Force, chaired by Councilmember Raul Campillo, on May 20. The project received a $1.5 million grant from the State of California on July 22, made possible by President of the California State Senate Toni Atkins. |

Lee Capps is a Managing Partner of ClearSpace. Lee “grew up” in information technology and systems work with a process orientation. Blessed with a fairly balanced brain, he discovered that his true calling seemed to be on the human side of things – not just making technology work, but helping people work (and work together) more effectively. Going through organizational change as a leader prepared him for consulting in the human development arena – supporting organizations shift self-limiting behaviors and outmoded mindsets to achieve results.
Lee’s clients rely on him to be open and approachable – to meet them where they are with an empathetic understanding of their needs. Lee doesn’t just partner with clients. He works with them to co-create the moment for movement into the “future state.”When not on the job, Lee chooses running as a time for reflection and focused thinking.
He also loves to play with his grandchildren. He compares both activities to coaching, which likewise requires him to be fully present and open to what’s possible for his client. |

The most significant decision of my life was made for me when I was just two years old. That was when my family packed our entire life into three suitcases and fled the former Soviet Union as refugees. When we arrived in the United States, my parents spoke no more than ten combined words of English, but they were fluent in another language; both had advanced engineering degrees and within months started careers in the tech sector.
It’s not lost on me just how lucky my family was to land in, of all places, Silicon Valley. Coming of age during the 90s Dotcom boom and witnessing the impact it had on my family seeded me with a deeply-held belief in the proegrssive power of technology and innovation. From that young age, I was hooked.
Growing up, I was obsessed with the future; the idea of what’s coming next. My dream was to become an engineer, which I believed was the path to help create that next big thing. So when I got to Berkeley, I naturally enrolled as an EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) major. Just a few semesters in, I hit a wall. I learned I wasn’t a particularly gifted programmer and, worse yet, I wasn’t enjoying myself. That was my first proverbial “oh sh*t” moment; the point when reality strikes a blow to all your best laid plans. Though I didn’t appreciate it then, this experience shaped my career in two profound ways. First, it gave me a deep respect for the discipline of computer science and, even more so, the talented engineers who could build seemingly anything their minds could conjure. Second, it was during this time I discovered the world venture capital. Venture, ultimately, became my avenue to explore the future and play a small role in shaping it.
I started my VC career in New York at the height of the social and mobile booms where seemingly the entire tech world was chasing the next Instagram or WhatsApp. Though I could appreciate the revolutionary cultural impact of these products, I was far more interested in the technical breakthroughs that were enabling this new class of companies to build and deploy magical experiences that could reach billions of connected users all over the world? I was also scratching an itch, looking for tools and technologies that could have made a decent programmer. To me, technology was always about leverage, enabling us to do more with less, to build better, faster, cheaper and unlock new applications and services. So while others were studying up on network effects, I was going to AWS, Hadoop and NodeJS MeetUps. Fast forward a decade later, and my exploration of cloud computing, DevOps, data infrastructure and security led me to work with generational founders of companies like Datadog, Hashicorp and Cockroach Labs. Focusing on what you’re passionate about is the best career advice I can offer.
At Amplify, we are driven to build the best-in-class platform to support today’s generation of deeply technical founders and do everything in our power to help them evolve into leaders of tomorrow’s great enterprise companies. As we’re singularly obsessed with our mission, I look for founders who are similarly obsessed with a vision of the world only they can build. They are the developers, technologists, data scientists, hackers and practitioners who have experienced a problem so viscearly, they are compelled to spend the next decade of their lives on the solution. My colleague David and I semi-jokingly refer to this group as the lunatic fringe, where we feel most at home, by the way.
Besides that unrelenting drive, I look for founders that can take themselves and whatever life throws at them lightly. Building a company can be a humbling experience where you’re bound to be wrong way more than often you are right. Those founders who can approach the journey with empathy, humility and humor set themselves up for long-term success.
There’s nothing like a good story, in fact, we are all biologically wired to connect with stories. But too often in startups we’re focused on the what, not the why or the how. The irony, of course, is that the underlying technology – the what in this case – is almost never what makes or breaks a product. Said another way, a breakthrough innovation is necessary but far from sufficient to create a generational company. The lesson here is that founders too often neglect the big picture – the story – for the technical details. Features don’t matter if your users don’t understand why you exist. My advice is to figure out who you are, what you stand for and who you serve. Your strategic narrative is your strategy – from your product to your go-to-market. Moreover, telling a compelling story is how you’ll recruit your all-star team and land your first ten customers.

I am a Entrepreneurship and Technology enthusiast hustling hard to support the current megatrend of increasing financial digitization and inclusion in SEA. Alongside Krishnan Menon, I founded Lummo, as BukuKas, in 2019 with a mission to empower aspiring entrepreneurs and brands to accelerate their growth and to serve their customers by giving them the best technology and partner solutions.
I lead operations, company growth and business strategy for Lummo and Lummo’s flagship product LummoSHOP.
Before starting Lummo, I led the planning and implementation of Sephora's E-Commerce strategy in 10 markets in SEA and ANZ. While at Sephora, I also led the transformation of Sephora's digital business in the region into Mobile-first, spearheading the development and commercialization of the Sephora native apps to serve millions of consumers in less than a year since launch.
I previously set up and scaled Luxola.com's business in Thailand for two years. Luxola Group, leading beauty E-Commerce platform in Asia, was acquired by LVMH (largest luxury conglomerate worldwide) through its subsidiary Sephora in July 2015. In early 2016, Luxola was rebranded to become Sephora's digital division in SEA.
Before joining Luxola, I built significant experience in startup building and e-commerce launching two ventures backed by Rocket Internet GmbH, the largest Internet startup incubator in the World:
- Lamudi.com (global network of Real Estate Classified Ad Websites with operations in 31 countries). I managed the initial rollout of Lamudi in Indonesia as Co-Founder and Managing Director.
- Lazada.com (leading diversified retail e-commerce player in South East Asia that received substantial funding by JP Morgan, Summit Partners, Kinnevik, Tesco and Temasek). I was with Lazada since inception and contributed to its development throughout significantly different stages. I concluded my experience with Lazada as Director of Buying Operations for the Indonesian market. |

Life is for living and Luca Longobardi is certainly living his life to the full. Leaving Italy at the age of 21, he set sail for New York to start an incredible adventure of ambition, success, romance, disaster, exoneration to new beginnings and renewed success. Luca is one of life’s eternal dreamers – an entrepreneur, author, successful businessman and a colorful personal story to match. From humble beginnings, just 500 dollars in pocket and of no fixed abode, Luca rose to become one of Wall Street’s most successful financiers rising to the top, start his career working for one of “The Wolf of Wall street” organization, moved with the oldest NYSE member firm Ladenburg Thalmann, owned by Carl Icahn. By 1999, he had personally built a prominent investment bank with offices in New York, London, Miami, Milan and notably Brazil. It was the best of times, winning on all fronts including a young family and married to Miss Brazil, life could not be better – all was to change quickly. In 2010, an easy target with a high profile, Luca was falsely accused and arrested in Brazil as part of a crackdown on international banks. Wholly exonerated it did not stop him to be on the Interpol List as one of the most wanted man in the world and spending 30 days in one of South America’s most notorious prisons where he found himself face to face and side by side with some of the world’s most notorious criminal of our time. A life changing experience and time to reflect on the future. Freed and cleared of all charges but now the face of a global press story, run by Brazilian Police Chief in search of fame release the false information, of Luca’s being “The Mafia’s Banker”, as he became worldwide known in 24h. For most the story would have come full circle and ended right there, but Luca pressed ahead. Besides the collapse of his banking business, followed right after the one of his family, his wife filed for divorce and kept custody of Julia now 15 and Raffaella 12. In 2015 he self-published on Amazon his autobiography, “Branded The Mafia’s Banker” which became a worldwide Amazon best seller, and for which he is negotiating the making of a movie. Leaving the nuance world of Wall Street behind him, his focus and ambition shifted to bring his undeniable energy, commitment and innovation to the world of food, drink and lifestyle, in the hospitality sector.

I believe software is one of the most leveraged ways to make an impact on the world. We now have access to enormous volumes of data about human biology and the world we live in, and we can use that to inform patient care for better outcomes.
I've worked at big software companies like Amazon and Facebook, where I shipped the first Facebook login buttons around the web back in 2008, and implemented the first major instance of OAuth 2.0. I co-founded an educational startup that now serves millions of students. And today, I work at Tempus, where we work with data scientists around the country to ship machine learning algorithms that leverage the rich biologic data now available. |

There’s a new breed of highly-efficient, mission-critical, product-led software companies today, and we’ve found they’re not always a great fit for the existing financial ecosystem. They’re oftentimes too capital-efficient for venture capital, too small for large-cap private equity, and there’s still too much value left to be created to sell to a strategic acquirer. Turn/River is purpose-built to fill this gap by offering flexible capital that meets the liquidity and growth needs of founders, alongside strong operational support and playbooks to help accelerate growth profitably.
At T/R, I work across the whole investment lifecycle—from sourcing new opportunities, to executing investments, to partnering with our Ops Team and portfolio companies to help carry out our investment theses. My favorite part about my job is getting to see a company through its journey at T/R from start to finish—from the initial phone call with a company’s founder, all the way through to a successful second exit after tremendous growth, creating value for everyone.
I graduated with a Political Science degree and minor in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with the intention of pursuing a career in Corporate M&A law. That vision shifted after I started working in sales & marketing with a start-up called Bannerman, which led to a love for the world of software—and eventually to Turn/River!
T/R’s mission is to help product-focused software companies with great bones reach their next phases of growth. We ensure our businesses maintain their autonomy through working collaboratively and aligning on core growth objectives early on, so we can all hit the ground running on our growth initiatives. We have a continuous growth mindset and love to iterate on our playbooks as we try new things across our portfolio, so we hope to learn as much from the founders and management at our investments as they might learn from our playbooks!
I love staying active, whether it’s through reformer pilates, boxing, or long walks to the Golden Gate Bridge with my German Shepherd mix, Emmie. Every Sunday, I pick up pho (something I’ve coined Sunday “pho-n day”) from my favorite hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. |

My introduction to computing began with a summer camp for kids to do self-paced computer-based training. I’d completed the two week program in a couple of days, and proceeded to spend the rest of the time mastering the remaining courses they had available. Logo was my first computer language, but Wordstar, dBase, and Lotus 1-2-3 were not far behind.
When I was 13 or 14, I convinced my grandmother to buy me a computer—a Commodore 128. By 16, I was hacking code in Pascal. I was hooked.
I left India at the age of 17 to study at Carnegie Mellon. I finished my Bachelors in Electrical and Computer Engineering and then completed a Masters in Software Engineering. While a student, I started my first company, SneakerLabs, Inc., with $5,000 from a summer internship. I bootstrapped the company for 2 years, supporting myself and the company by teaching courses at Carnegie Mellon. In 1998, I raised $1M in funding from local angels in Pittsburgh, PA, and SneakerLabs was off to the races. We went from lows of having $1,000 in the bank (and a $30K payroll!) to ultimately being acquired at the peak of the dot-com bubble in March 2000 in a deal valued at over $100M.
The success of my first company was very much a function of being in the right place at the right time. We did a few things right—building an awesome team being the one I’m most proud of—but I wanted to be sure that this was repeatable. So I helped start a second company at the bottom of the bottom.
iMeet, Inc started in 2000. We raised just $800K and were competing with companies in the Valley that had raised $60M-$100M. We grew the company to cash flow positive and in 2002 merged with Boston-based Netspoke. I stayed on the Board of Directors for Netspoke, but took a break to move out to Palo Alto and pursue a PhD in Computer Science at Stanford. I researched automobile interfaces, and wrote my dissertation on using eye tracking as an augmented input to traditional devices.
In 2005 we sold Netspoke to Premiere Conferencing (NYSE:PGI). Shortly thereafter, I began helping the founder of Lytro start what was at that time called Refocus Imaging. I became an accidental investor when I wrote the first check for Refocus Imaging in March 2006, to encourage the founder to get the company going.
In 2006-2007, I had the opportunity to go up and down Sand Hill Road to help Refocus Imaging raise funding. I observed that:
> Most VCs were doing $3M-$4M Series A investments, but there were few funds that would participate in a sub-$1M round.
> Most firms were not taking on technology risk—the very basis of what Silicon Valley was built upon.
> Very few of the younger generation of investors had actual startup and operating experience.
I saw a need for a new type of seed-stage venture fund, and K9 Ventures was officially formed in April 2009.
I’m an entrepreneur at heart and my passion is starting and building companies. The part I enjoy most is getting from idea to first product. That’s why I chose to focus my investing on the earliest stages of a company’s life, where I get to work directly with founders. |

Marc Benioff is Chair, Co-CEO, and Co-Founder of Salesforce and a pioneer of cloud computing.
Under Benioff’s leadership, Salesforce is the #1 provider of customer relationship management (CRM) software globally and one of the world's fastest-growing enterprise software companies.
Benioff founded Salesforce in 1999, and it is now a Fortune 150 company with 75,000 employees, guided by four core values — trust, customer success, innovation, and equality. The company has been recognized as the Most Innovative Company by Forbes, a Best Place to Work by Fortune, and the 10th Most Admired Company in the World by Fortune.
Benioff was named “Innovator of the Decade” by Forbes and is recognized as one of the World’s 25 Greatest Leaders by Fortune, one of the 10 Best-Performing CEOs by Harvard Business Review, and as the CNN Business CEO of 2020. For his leadership on equality, Benioff has been honored by GLAAD, the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, and Variety Magazine with its EmPOWerment Award.
Building a different kind of company, Benioff created Salesforce to not only develop great products, but also to have a positive impact on the world. On day one, Benioff created the 1-1-1 model of philanthropy, which leverages the resources of Salesforce to improve communities around the world. Today, more than 12,000 companies have adopted the 1-1-1 model through the Pledge 1% movement.
Benioff and his wife, Lynne, have focused their philanthropy on healthcare, the environment, public education, and homelessness. The Benioffs have given more than $250 million to the University of California, San Francisco, to build UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals in San Francisco and Oakland. The Benioffs have also established the Benioff Ocean Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, the UCSF Benioff Initiative for Prostate Cancer Research, and the UCSF Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine, and they have provided the initial funding for the Stanford Microbiome Therapies Initiative.
A member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) board of trustees, Benioff co-founded 1t.org — the global movement to conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees — and the WEF Friends of Ocean Action. He also serves as the inaugural chair of WEF’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in San Francisco.
Benioff is the owner and co-chair of TIME, and the founder of TIME Ventures — a leading investment firm with over 200 investments. Benioff is author of the New York Times bestseller “Trailblazer: The Power of Business as the Greatest Platform for Change.”
Before launching Salesforce, Benioff spent 13 years at Oracle, where he was the youngest vice president in company history. When he was 14 years old, he sold his first piece of software, “How to Juggle,” for $75. He founded his first company, Liberty Software, which created video games, at the age of 15.
Benioff received a B.S. in business administration from the University of Southern California, where he is on its board of trustees. In 2014, USC awarded Benioff an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. |

My background is in finance, having qualified as an accountant a really, really (really) long time ago, but my passion is for business, media, and more recently the opportunities that blockchain and NFTs offer to the artist & collector communities.
I have held various non-executive directorships over the years and invest in / advise startups both in and outside of the media and blockchain spaces. For the last 9 years my main focus was 1854 Media, which formed in 2013 following a management buyout from Incisive Media, and we subsequently raised capital to build one of the most respected photography media organisations in the world.
It's all change for 2022 as I have stepped down as CEO of 1854 to focus on ART3.io with a mission to explore photography in the Metaverse. We completed the sale of 1854 in early February 2022 so this now has 100% of my focus.

Leadership should never be lonely. Real strength flows from a wellspring of partnership — channels of intelligence, insight and support.
Maria Darby-Walker creates an environment to identify, establish and embed these channels. Here, leaders of all levels, with a diversity of ambition and in a variety of circumstance make the connections that clarify. It is a time to build self-confidence, self-belief and self-awareness.
Coach, mentor and communicator, Maria provides a safe space to reveal pathways that accelerate careers, redefine objectives and focus motivations. A space where silence and reflection are as valued as intervention and action. A space where balance is a critical foundation — to align professional, family and personal perspectives.
Insight is deeply rooted in practical experience: a career that has seen her rise to the very highest levels of corporate communications — before a reappraisal of her own goals and ambitions led her to bring this wealth of experience, empathy and insight to the boards of some of the world’s largest companies.
It is a process of personal and professional development that inspired Maria to become a qualified practitioner with internationally respected leadership coaching school, Meyler Campbell. It drives her passion to coach and mentor others — to catalyse personal, professional and organisational growth.
A fluent French speaker, Maria Darby-Walker offers support to clients across the world. Calling on her extensive professional network, she also brings clients access to some of the world’s leading experts in areas such as public speaking, presentation and media skills. |

I like to dream about new things. Sometimes I make them come true.
I run MURAL, which we started inspired in Minority Report and as a need to help ourselves work visually and remotely in game design. We've funded the company with top investors and have gone through a startup in residence with IDEO, global leader in design.
Before I created games at Three Melons. Bola was our hit with more than 20 million players (it's still online at http://espn.go.com/free-online-games/sports/bola). The studio was acquired by Playdom/Disney in 2010. |

People reach out to me when they want to discuss product management, technology or entrepreneurship. I'm a technology fanatic and always have been. From the first time I got my hands on an Apple ][ to launching a company to improve Google's search results, I've been captivated by computing. I am particularly enamored by sophisticated hardware and software products, information retrieval, AI, big data, algorithms and data science.
I love working with teams that develop exciting, innovative products and then launching those products into the market. I founded Rank Dynamics to develop a search application that uses innovative AI to predict intent from implicit user signals in order to improve relevance in real time. Additionally, I've led teams that have assessed market opportunities and defined products at Hewlett-Packard (workstations), Keynote Systems (internet infrastructure), NetGeo (IP-geolocation), Bargain Network (real estate shopping) and NexTag (mortgage leads). |

Hello world. I've now completed my DPhil thesis (read it here). Thanks to Paul Newman and everyone else in the Mobile Robotics Group for a great four years.
My work was on the development of appearance-based robot navigation methods that infer position from visual appearance alone, without keeping track of metric position. We called our algorithm FAB-MAP. There's a quick overview and some software you can download.
After finishing, I co-founded a start-up company called Plink, which is now part of Google Goggles. For more recent news, try my Google+ page or occassionally updated blog. |

Before Zynga, Mark founded tribe.net, one of the earliest online social networks whose technology was acquired by Cisco Systems. He also founded Support.com, a provider of help desk service and support automation software, one of the first enterprise software companies to go to market with a subscription-based model. Support.com went public in 2001. Mark also founded FreeLoader, Inc., a web-based, push technology news company, which was acquired by Individual, Inc.
Mark has made numerous investments in many internet, media, and software companies, including Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb, Snap, Epic Games, Xiaomi, JD.com, and Niantic. He is also an active angel investor in technology startups. Mark has prioritized social impact in his personal and professional life. Zynga was one of the first companies to use in-game virtual goods to allow players to contribute directly to disaster relief and other nonprofit efforts. Mark was appointed by President Barack Obama to the Board of the Presidio Trust, a federal agency that operates the Presidio as part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area. He also regularly lectures to aspiring entrepreneurs at colleges and universities, including Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School, and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Mark has built an intellectual practice around product management. He was an early pioneer in reimagining product management for consumer internet products, notably the use of rapid testing and experimentation to inform design decisions in all stages of product development. He also developed a product roadmapping process that tracks engineering resources to expected outcomes. Mark was among the first to bring these lessons to games, spawning an always-on, product-as-a-service operating model that empowers product teams to react in real time to user behavior by deploying product updates. In addition, Mark co-created the Stanford Graduate School of Business course on Product Management with Professor Amir Goldberg. |

My background is in technology. I moved from software development—I still love coding in my spare time—to managing tech people. In 2001, I became a tech entrepreneur. In my career, I created several companies, and one of them grew up to 1,000 people in ten years. Another raised hundreds of millions from Silicon Valley top VCs and changed how people deal with container-based distributed systems worldwide. I've been an angel investor since 2010 because I was eager to learn. I've always been chasing unique founders in San Francisco during the earliest stages of their companies. That strategy paid off.
I moved to venture capital and advisory in 2017. My passion is to educate the Italian startup ecosystem to Silicon Valley opportunities as a win-win opportunity for both countries. In the last fifteen years, I advised thousands of founders, created a Master Class (How Silicon Valley Startups Work), and worked aside inspiring CEOs and entrepreneurs to change things. |

A bit about me – I’ve spent the last decade or so as a venture investor and board member, working with innovative companies in the digital media, software, infrastructure and tech-enabled services sectors. The areas I follow most closely include online marketing, mobile applications, and analytics and data-based technology services.
There are undoubtedly many writers and experts out there that are much more qualified than me to take interested readers into great detail in almost any of the sectors that I cover in this blog. There are also plenty of VC and other blogs out there that follow the latest “hot” sectors and newest companies with rapt attention (whether or not justified).
My hope and intention here is to bring some perspective and sensibility to a number of emerging categories that I find interesting, based on my experiences as an investor and advisor. Before chasing after the next new thing, the most important questions are (a) how will this technology be used, and by whom, (b) how persistent will it end up being, and (c) how can one measure the value being delivered. |

“My grandfather grew up with nothing and made a success of himself. He always used to say, ‘Choose your dream and the future you dream can be yours, if you have the will to make it so.’ For me this quote is everything.”
My passion for technology began as a kid. I had a love for computer games, to a point where my mother wouldn’t let me play anymore unless I built my own computer. I bought a book, earned money by mowing lawns and built my first one when I was 11. It wasn’t long before I was selling my home-built computers and devouring programming books at night. I knew I wanted to work in the technology industry.
My journey to Sequoia has had many twists and turns. I took two years off school and attempted to build an out-of-home media network in restaurants. That experience gave me so much empathy for the life and pressures of being a founder. After failing, I wanted to learn what life was like at the best technology companies in the world, so I cold-called my way into a job interview at Goldman Sachs and told them “I will be your best guy if you give me a shot and let me work in the Valley.” I got the job and worked 100+ hours a week to deliver on that promise. Sequoia reached out while I was at Goldman, and my immediate thought was, “This is an opportunity of a lifetime to work with the best technology investors in the world.” The journey since has been incredible.
I have been working on our plan to enter Europe for the past few years and have recently moved my family to London. Europe has always had amazing technology talent but more recently that talent is choosing to work in startups and keep their companies here. We have been seeing more and more global market leaders have their start in Europe and knew we needed to be here on the ground to work with them as early as possible. For me it is the opportunity of a lifetime.
The thing I really love about Sequoia is that we approach investing with an eye to become the founder’s preferred business partner and to dream with them on a scale of decades. We work to give every company we partner with every unfair advantage we can, from our own depth of experience and network. That is how we spend half of our time and it’s one of the most thrilling aspects of our jobs. |

I enjoy helping individuals and companies make better decisions, solve hard problems, and execute plans.
I grow and lead successful business service companies. My curiosity leads me to look for new ideas, technologies, industries and people. Being a part of the startup community keeps me energetic, involved and enthusiastic about where business can take us in the future.
Whether investing as an Angel, working as a CEO, mentoring or playing sports, I’ve learned the more I’m around, the more there is to learn. Asking for help is key to being better than I was. My goal for working is to keep doing it for a long time. Being rewarded financially and socially is part of the benefits of making wise choices.
I believe being happy is more important than being right; you can’t go wrong taking money to the bank; and you don’t take ‘no’ from someone who can’t say 'yes'.
To be well rounded, I’ve been a ski bum, Ironman triathlete, divemaster, veteran of USN, and cross-fitter, among other things. |

Having grown up in a small village in Germany, I have a deep appreciation for entrepreneurship. To this day, I believe it’s the most powerful mechanism to bring about positive change. My drive “to see the world” ultimately led me to high school in the U.S., university in Berlin, advanced degrees in Paris and Madrid, internships in Japan and Brazil, stints at intergovernmental institutions and equity market research in the U.S. I was intrigued how technology changed our lives and began my tech career at Google in London.
I transitioned into venture capital, joining Index Ventures, just as Europe became a fertile ground for ambitious founders. At General Catalyst, I continue to focus on B2B investment opportunities, now across both New York and Europe, which are the two ecosystems I’m most bullish about. Away from work, I love any sport involving a racquet or paddle, am a passionate piano player of limited ability and support organisations that take on big challenges, such as Human Rights Watch and Black Girls CODE. |

At the age of 16, I raised £80,000 from a combination of local councils and government grants to build a skatepark for the local community.
This is where I found my passion for leadership, I continued to push this passion into my working life, where I built and managed a team at my local independent cycle business, which I went on to acquire a few years later through a leveraged MBO.
Throughout my school life I was never naturally academic so I knew University wouldn't be right for me despite the FOMO from my peers and natural pressure from parents & school teachers.
This gave me the tenacity to 'prove them wrong' and with that I jumped two feet into a debt position that wasn't far off an MBA cost or going to University two or three times. It was definitely a moment of sink or swim where I learnt to deal with very real cash-flow scenarios, taxes & duties, hiring, firing and fraudulent transactions.
Several years in, I finally found my feet and cleared my debt position, doubled the 6-figure turnover and built a substanstial online revenue stream to scale through the digital era.
Christmas of 2016, I had a moment of reflection, I no longer had a ball and chain attached and I was ready for my next challenge - my options for growth within the industry seemed relatively limited, either the route of territorial expansion (more shops) or online expansion (more capital), neither of which seemed very attractive, with the high streets changing and rents/rates increasing - I was most interested by online before analysing the necessary capital to compete with VC backed businesses.
It was around this time, two things were about to happen that would change my life and current career trajectory. 1) I met Alex Bodini at the time, founder of Fixation London. 2) I had been asked to support some of my stocked brands with their digital and online presence.
Little did I know, we'd soon be working together in consulting to a very old-school industry and creating Spin Brands, a pure-play social media agency to serve the needs of 50+ brands across 20+ countries, with 40+ employees. |

I am the co-founder and co-CEO of Calm. Our mission is to make the world healthier and happier. We are based in San Francisco and growing very rapidly. We're always on the look for extraordinary people to join the team so please feel free to reach out:
https://blog.calm.com/life-at-calm
My first business was Firebox.com (online retailer of gadgets, games and gifts) that I co-founded in 1998 with Tom Boardman. We had a lot of fun scouring the world looking for new products and ideas. Invented the Shot Glass Chess Set along the way (bizarre fusion of chess and alcohol that was a surprise hit)
Launched Mind Candy in 2004 to create new types of online entertainment. First project was a puzzle-based Alternate Reality Game called Perplex City - a global treasure hunt played by tens of thousands of people around the world across many different types of media.
Mind Candy's first major hit was Moshi Monsters, an online world for kids that grew to tens of millions of registered players around the world. In 2011 the game expanded from the screen into the offline world with a wide range of new products such as toys, books, magazines, trading cards, videos games, music and a film.
In 2011 I launched Silicon Drinkabout which is a weekly after-work meetup for anyone working in a tech startup (now run by the Three Beards)
I love working in start-ups alongside smart, creative and passionate people.
Favourite business quote:
“Tech start-ups are the dynamos of our society. They create new wealth, jobs and inventions – and sustain our competiveness on the world stage. Best of all, they shower wealth on the most unlikely people. Start-ups are the engines of human liberation. They’re also scary. They upset the established order. They’re risky. And they attract obsessive, difficult, headstrong people fixated on changing the world” (Wired magazine) |

Business Funding, Structuring and
Packaging
As a Certified Economic Development Finance Professional, Certified by The National
Development Council and MBA, I provide SBA, Conventional Loan, Crowd Funding
Concierge Services and placement. I have 20 years of combined lending experience
working to assure that the loan package you are developing meets or exceeds the
requirements of the lenders and or investors.
One of the deterrents to applying for a loan or raising equity for most small business
owners is the extensive paperwork and expertise required. My clients receive an initial
screening to determine what type of lender or funding source (i.e. microfinance, credit
union, crowd funding, commercial bank, and Community Economic Development
Funds, HUD-CDBG, Venture Capital, Angel Investors, Business Accelerator Assistance
or combo loan/grant/equity structure) would best serve the needs of the client. I meet
with the business owner to pull together the paperwork and presentations necessary to
apply to the identified set of lenders or investors. I have relationships with over 30
lenders, many Community Economic Development Professionals, Business
Accelerators and several equity investors. With this large network of relationships and
fund structuring expertise, I can structure and find the best funding options for you and
your business.
Business owners and potential business owners that would like an initial consultation on
the individual situation can do so by phone or Skype. This is usually a 30 minute visit
but can last up to one hour. |

As a founder of studio and venture fund Science Inc., Mike leverages his operational expertise and keen entrepreneurial talent to help Science founders scale highly profitable and successful businesses. Mike develops predictive strategies for portfolio companies, and the firm overall, that taps into future societal shifts and disrupts entrenched markets.
A longtime Internet executive, entrepreneur, and strategic adviser, Mike spent his career growing businesses ranging from early stage startups to private equity-backed assets to public media companies.
Mike’s ability to predict the next shift extends beyond his work at Science to when he served as the CEO of Myspace. In his role he foresaw the impact of social influence over software, a predictive strategy he also saw as CEO of Userplane (acquired by AOL), and investment in HouseParty (acquired by Epic). Mike’s work with Mammoth Media, Hello Society and Famebit also highlights how he spotted the future of content and built these brands to thrive at the onset of GenZ’s as content consumers and influencer takeover.
His experience and expertise in both large and small companies focuses on strategy, growth, and operational efficiency, and has resulted in over $2B in exits (three of which were in 2016 alone). You can get a glimpse of his thought process in this Dollar Shave Club case study or his take on GenZ and Mammoth Media in a case study. Mike currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two children, whom he loves writing about.

The human element will never be eliminated entirely from the customer service function, but robots are beginning to rule. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are increasing efficiency, eliminating redundancy and reducing customer care labor costs to a degree that was never believed possible until now.
Using AI and Machine Learning, we at DeepPiXEL, Inc. have developed software that any organization with a Chat Bot connected to a customer service department can implement immediately. The client supplies us with data – sets of frequently asked customer questions, and with a flip of a switch, DeepPiXEL’s next gen technology goes to work answering complete questions, providing complete solutions and interacting with customers in ways that mimic authentic human interaction.
The outcome is groundbreaking for organizations that regularly address repeat online customer queries related to product or service capabilities, marketing messaging and customer service and support policies. But the real magic of DeepPiXEL’s software lies in its ability to continuously expand intelligence and perform more capabilities as it receives new customer data. The more the software runs, the more intelligence it offers.
With 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in starting, growing and exiting software, internet and semiconductor companies, I have never been more excited about a software product. Having created hundreds of millions of dollars in value through building strong customer relationships in more than 100 countries, I have a knack for identifying visionary business and technology opportunities and DeepPiXEL is the brightest star to grace the galaxy thus far.
If you are a Chief Digital Officer or a Chief Information Officer with a consumer retail or service organization, allow me to present a demo of DeepPiXEL's software and introduce you to the next generation of customer service. Please contact me at 416 486-8500 or michael@mmooradian.com. |

Co-founder and CEO of Vistar Media, the leading end-to-end programmatic ecosystem for digital out-of-home, with 15+ years of experience in the adtech and software space.
My personal journey in the ad tech space started in 2007 when I co-founded Invite Media, a technology that enabled advertisers to use “real-time bidding” to buy display ad space and to optimize display ad campaigns across multiple advertising exchanges. After selling this infrastructure to Google in 2010, I ventured into the digital out-of-home landscape, an untapped medium at the time.
Over the past 10 years, Vistar Media has scaled to over 100 employees with DOOH inventory in five countries and is constantly expanding. Our mission is to help the world’s leading brands engage with consumers in compelling ways through digital out-of-home and to maximize the potential of every media owner’s inventory.
I hold multiple leadership positions outside of Vistar, including board positions with the Out of Home Association of America (OAAA) and Geopath. I also advise a handful of growing companies and stealth startups.
Past advisory positions include my appointment to the DPAA’s Board of Advisors, 2018 Digital Global Digital Out-of-Home Council Leadership by Digital Signage Federation, and an advisor to AdTheorent, an industry-leading machine learning platform. |

Mikal has been immersed in the Philadelphia community for the past 15 years, building a company, serving on boards and donating time, money and attention to making Philadelphia a better place. She has developed a not-so-secret skill for spotting great talent and investing in them.
For 10 years, she, her business partner (and one hell of a team!) have built and grown Juno Search Partners , a talent solutions firm headquartered in Philadelphia dedicated to helping the region hire, scale, and retain their most important commodity - people.
With people at the core of everything she and Juno does - it was an easy decision to spin out an investment arm to continue investing in smart people with great ideas.
Her most successful business lunch to date started at Buddakan and led to one business partnership and one marriage. She reports daily to twin boys who just turned 7 and made all her dreams come true. Never underestimate the power of a good lunch meeting... |

Broad range of roles - sales/ business development, product management, product development, COO, running businesses and board positions.
Global expertise and knowledge of local market, tax, regulatory and cultural issues having either worked with or lived in countries in Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, US and Australia.
Entrepreneurial experience gained as an operator and investor.
Building platforms, starting and growing businesses within large financial services companies including partnering with Fintechs.
Growing smaller companies having worked in startups / scaleups and invested in a number of early stage companies across multiple sectors.
All my experiences so far have led me to the following thoughts that excite me the most:
Creativity in finding solutions to customer’s problems – Identify the real problem, analyse, develop multiple possible solutions, test and test again then deliver.
Communicating with clients - Bringing technical knowledge and human skills together to understand their customers and find a solution together.
Believing in disruption – today’s model is not necessarily the right answer. Being open minded to new ideas, new ways of approaching problems to deliver a better outcome for customers. |

I'm an entrepreneur with a strong interest in data and analytics. After the 2016 election, I decided to work to improve American democracy. In 2017, I founded Change Research; we have designed a fast, affordable, accurate way to do public opinion research to help great candidates and causes. We're working with campaigns across the country, from tiny city council contests to huge statewide races, surfacing the issues voters care about and helping to find the messaging that will resonate with voters.
I founded Team Rankings, Circle of Moms, and Bonafide. I left Circle of Moms when it was acquired in early 2012; we shut down Bonafide in 2016.
I'm generally interested in businesses/products that are consumer-facing, have a strong data component, and can have large positive effects on the world. |

Monica C. Harris is the Founder and Managing Partner of Efficient Estates, Inc. Established in 2012, Efficient Estates provides quality financial solutions and strategies that preserve generational wealth for individuals and small business owners.
Upon experiencing the loss of her grandmother and realizing that the transferal of assets was not set up properly, Monica vowed to educate herself on how to prevent further missteps. A graduate of DeVry University with a Bachelor of Administration in Finance, Monica credits much of her financial services knowledge to an early career in banking. She started at Heritage Community Bank where she served for nearly six years. Her exposure to both retail and business banking provided practical skills and a wealth of knowledge across cash management, processing, packaging and administering mortgage loans, stock investments, and managing life insurance and annuity products.
After being recognized as a stellar employee, Monica decided to build on the knowledge gathered from corporate to pursue an entrepreneurial path with Efficient Estates. During the early stages of her transition, Monica continued to advise with other firms including Western & Southern Financial Group, Black Rhino Financial Group and Gary Harris Financial Group. Through word of mouth, Monica began to establish her own base of clients that ultimately allowed her to grow her business to what it is today.
In addition to serving clients, Monica is a firm believer in giving back to the community. She is the Founder of Royal Daughters of GOD, an organization that educates high school students on how to tap into the $46 billion scholarship market. The Scholarship Roundtable is now an anchor program. Ultimately, the goal is to produce as many debt free college graduates as possible. Monica also serves as an Ambassador Council Member and former sexual violence support services (SVSS) Medical Advocate for YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, board member of A Diamond's Heart, and a board member of Union Street Gallery.
As an heir to an estate that she never received, Monica has turned her own life experience into a passion for serving others and teaching about the importance of financial literacy. Her purpose is to build generational wealth one family at a time. You can catch her bringing that passion to the forefront with real life stories from her clients and others via Facebook and Instagram each week at Money Chats with Monica C. Harris. |

I am the founder of Audacious Ventures, an early stage VC firm, where we have a simple mandate - to partner with the most ambitious founders in technology, and help them achieve their most audacious goals.
Prior to launching Audacious, I was a Partner at Lightspeed, and previously, I spent a few years at Battery Ventures. Over the last decade, I have led/been involved with investments in several category defining startups:
Horizontal/Vertical SaaS: Gainsight, People.ai, WorkOS, 6Sense, Tome, Marketo, Intacct, Blue Jeans Network, HackerRank, Yesware, Quadrant Health, Schoolytics.
Marketplaces: Multiverse, BuildingConnected, Flint, Curious Cardinals.
> Fintech: Higo, Vartana.
> Creator Economy: Superpeer.
> Crypto/Web3: Dispatch, FalconX.
How I work with founders?
I believe that ultimately startup success comes down to two key ingredients: Large markets and A+ teams. Accordingly as a VC, I have two jobs: 1/ Invest in A+ founders attacking large markets; 2/ Help them recruit an A+ team. Recruiting is hard. Recruiting A+ talent is harder, but its the difference between a great journey and a not-so-great one. At Audacious, we move the needle by helping our portfolio founders access, assess and close A+ talent.
What I look for?
Ambitious and hungry product founders targeting extremely large markets. I believe hunger and ambition are more important ingredients of success than experience. |

Natalie came home from school one day with a simple note from her kindergarten teacher – Natalie is good at patterns. Decades later, from spotting her opponents’ errors on the tennis courts at Stanford, to studying financial markets on Wall Street, to curating playlists on SoundCloud, Natalie always loves identifying consumer trends and meeting people who defy the odds.
Prior to Maveron, Natalie was at Susa Ventures, a premier seed-stage fund in San Francisco. At Susa, Natalie worked with the team to source and help diligence several investments, largely in the consumer space. Before Susa, Natalie was a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs and a research associate at Silicon Valley Bank, where her passion for studying consumer businesses, building relationships, and identifying outliers flourished. Stories about Natalie speak to her hustle, relationship building nature, and intellectual curiosity.
A San Francisco native, Natalie wrote her first college paper on the rise of coffee shops as co-working spaces that she saw take off in the Mission district. She’s a sucker for a well designed coffee shop, hole in the wall taco joints, and a good sci-fi novel.
“Flying car” consumer prediction for 50 years into the future:
> wellness: practicing good mental health will be commonplace. Similar to flu shots, consumers at minimum will see a therapist on a yearly basis to receive their checkup.
> esports: esports will drop the e, and will be synonymous with sports.
> urbanization: cities will be designed around autonomous vehicles and the ecosystems they enable cars as entertainment capsules, mass market food delivery, 24/7 instant commerce and availability of services.
> longevity: humans will live longer and redefine what it means to age – consumers will increasingly have multiple careers and multiple expressions of their lives.

Omry is a General Partner at Viola Ventures. He joined the fund in 2017 bringing with him 15 years of technology-focused experience across investment banking, startup operations and both institutional and private venture investments. Omry’s areas of investment at Viola Ventures include Fintech, Enterprise / SMB Software and Vertical AI.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
* Omry was a Senior Vice President and East Coast Software Sector Captain at Goldman Sachs in the tech, media and telecom (TMT) investment banking group. Omry joined Goldman Sachs’ New York office in 2008 and during his tenure sourced, led and executed 30+ transactions totaling $120bn+ across M&A, equity, debt and institutional technology investments. He also served as the TMT business unit manager (2011-2012) and as the co-head of Columbia University Goldman Sachs recruiting.
* Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Omry led sales, marketing and business development for the connectivity software BU at Jungo Software (acquired by NDS for $108 million in 2006).
* Omry was a Captain and Company Commander in an elite combat unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
* Omry holds a B.Sc. in computer science (Magna Cum Laude) and management (Summa Cum Laude) from Tel Aviv University and an MBA (Dean’s Honors and Distinction) from Columbia Business School.
THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT OMRY
* He spent half his life in Israel and half abroad: “I grew up in France and Germany and later studied and worked in the UK and the US.”
* He enjoys traveling, meeting with people from across the globe and discovering different cultures, art and nature: “Beyond the travel itself, I believe It promotes a balanced perspective in life.”
* One of the books that influenced him most is Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind: “Bottom line – life is short and inconsequential in evolutionary terms, so make it count!”
* One of his favorite mantras to live/invest by: “Be thoughtful and think big. It’s an impactful combination 🙂 “
* His main investment areas focus on enterprise/B2B technology and fintech: “I am passionate about technology and find it fascinating how quickly it is evolving. It’s mind blowing to me that only 10 years ago, today’s key enabling platforms did not exist: mobile was limited (pre iPhone), social inexistent (pre Facebook) and cloud in early innings (pre AWS). Just imagine where we could be 10 years from now!” |

Pamela started in community service at age twelve, after experiencing life-changing poverty on a family vacation. She and her father were in a marketplace and looked down a side cul-de-sac where she saw a whole line of half-clothed, begging, unwashed, starving children. The word UNACCEPTABLE came across her mind, and led her to volunteer all over the world (Read more here). Some of Pamela’s many volunteer experiences include working with microfinance in rural India, sustainable farming in Guatemala, earthquake relief work in El Salvador, and computer training in Cambodia.
She has a Political Science degree cum laude from Duke University and a Masters in International Communication from the Annenberg School of Communications, USC. Pamela is on the Duke Northern California Board and Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship; part of Duke Angel Network (DAN); and most recently received the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award for the Political Science Department at Duke University. She has also received the Castilleja Alumni Award. She is a guest lecturer at Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley and USC. Pamela speaks on leadership, Corporate Social Responsibility, social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, world economics/cultures, and how these affect business and global philanthropy.
Pamela was Co- Founder of VolunteerMatch and VolunteerMatch Corporate (VMC) At VMC Ms. Hawley contacted more than 1500 companies while helping create the VMC product, secured more than 20 Fortune 500 companies as clients as the sole sales lead, and generated more than 1 million in revenue. She was one of the first leaders to create and prove the value of application service providers, now know as software as service and was a pioneer in the internet field.
Pamela is a winner of the Jefferson Award (the Nobel Prize in Community Service), and has been invited to three events at the White House. UniversalGiving has been featured on the homepage of BusinessWeek, Oprah.com, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Pamela was a finalist for Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award and is an Expert Blogger for Forbes Nonprofit Council, Fast Company and CSRWire. She also writes Living and Giving, a daily blog with the mission of “Inspiring Leaders to Live with Excellence and Love.”

Pamela has created two improv groups: The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Improv!, a fully improvised musical inspired by The Sound of Music; and Jackson Soup, a dynamic duo improv team. Pamela performed with Opening People's Minds (OPM), which won the award for Best Sketch Comedy in 2009 at the San Francisco Fringe Fest and garnered praise from reviewers such as LA Weekly. As part of the improv group Fosse Posse (based on choreographer Bob Fosse), she performed 40-minute improvised musicals, winning 9 out of 10 competitive shows (Watch a video here). Pamela donates a portion of every show’s proceeds to UniversalGiving™.

My latest experiment is a newsletter about crypto focused on people interested in learning about the space. You can read and subscribe on Substack or Medium.
I have video and audio podcast about startups, economics, markets and venture capital in the US and India. I’m calling it Invest Stream. Don’t forget to hit Subscribe!
I started Indian Startup Club on Clubhouse in 2020 to have conversations about startups, entrepreneurship, venture capital, angel investing, cryptocurrency and much much more.
I have an AngelList syndicate to invest in Blockchain, data/analytics and fintech companies in India. I have also launched an AngelList syndicate for US-based startups too.
I was a Partner at 500 Startups for a little more than 4 years. At 500, I was fortunate to meet and invest in some amazing founders in India, Bangladesh, Jordan, Scandinavia, NYC and Silicon Valley. The companies I’ve been invested, like Knotel, Innovaccer, Springboard, ShipRocket, Paperstreet, Whiz.ai and more are on AngelList.
I started my career in the financial industry. From 1992 till 2006 I worked at New York financial firms like JPMorgan, Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) and GlobeOp Financial Services. In 2007, I moved to New Delhi to start a business called Teknatus Solutions. At Teknatus we built Semblr and Mojowiz. Semblr was a marketplace to procure and provide domestic services. Mojowiz was a quick and easy way to curate content on the web and share it on Twitter and Facebook – much like Buffer.
I love tech, reading Sci-fi, writing about random things as you can see, watching shoot ’em up-blow ’em up and sci-fi movies. I’ve developed an interest in video creation but that’s been on hold recently.
I was investing in and mentoring Indian startups at TLabs, a Times Group initiative from January 2012 – September 2012.
I founded Startup Weekend in India with a fabulous group of volunteer organizers across the country in 2011 thru 2013.
I am a co-founder of the HeadStart Network Foundation based in Bangalore, India and was the city lead for Startup Saturday Delhi from 2008 until 2010.
You can find me on Twitter and you can find some of my pictures and IGTV videos on Instagram.

I've been working at startups for 20+ years and have learned what makes the good ones fly and the less-than-good hit the wall. My core value to any team - be it pure engineering or a blend of C-levels, managers and technical staff - is my ability to think strategically, see around the corners to prevent our running into dead ends along the road to a successful build or launch.
I have a genuine passion for collaborating across departments and working in teams, leading or adding my energies to a group effort. My fondest memories are building patented systems for the successful IronPort/Cisco - a company that succeeded precisely because the quality of its teams was so high. Team quality and cohesion is (almost) everything in my experience.
I thrive on opportunities to mentor: peers, clients and reports. Working in a number of smaller companies has given me the benefit of stepping into many roles beyond my core function of engineer. I've managed teams of technical and non-technical staff, recruited, raised capital, supported customers at every level from the learner to the CEO. I've even pinch hit in accounting. Variety is great and I enjoy being a multifaceted engineer. Ultimately, though, I'm known as a fast, accurate, hands-on software engineer with a flair for systems architecting |

I’m a pharmaceutical entrepreneur and leader with a strong intellectual property focus who partners with research institutes, startups, and Fortune 500’s to help them transform basic scientific discoveries into life-changing products and services around the world.
The defining purpose throughout my 30-year career is to help in discovering, developing, and marketing innovations that help people obtain better health outcomes and lead more meaningful lives.
My strength is my ability to implement a broad style of thinking, incorporating not only my knowledge of IP law and science, but history, economics, neuroscience and literature.
As a leader I seek collaboration, empowerment and accountability by establishing a culture of transparency and mutual respect. I believe each person contributes to the success of an enterprise, from the custodian to the CEO. And my team, colleagues and clients see that in my leadership. My colleagues know they have achieved something important.

Hi there 👋🏻 (Please read this description before sending an InMail)
My current focus is to empower individuals to invest with their networks.
Here is the best way to connect:
1) Investment Group Managers - We made a software, SmartCapital, to automate the syndication process. The product helps managers collect investments from their network into private companies. If you have an extensive investor network and are looking to make multiple investments per year into startups, I would love to chat with you about improving your life.
2) Investors in Denver - If you're interested in investing in startups, send me an email at paul@denverangels.co so we can discuss our investment group, Denver Angels [https://www.denverangels.co]
3) Founders in Colorado - The best way to connect is through the Colorado Startups online community [https://coloradostartups.org]. Get involved with the online groups, and I'm sure we'll meet.
Raising a round - Send a Company Brief [https://thecompanybrief.com] to diligence@denverangels.co
4) General Connect - As far as meeting and coffee requests, starting my career, this was my favorite thing to do. However, as of late, the 50+ requests per week have made it impossible to focus on the critical initiatives in life while meeting with everyone. So I politely pass on these general meeting requests.
5) Don't Send InMails - I get inundated with LinkedIn InMails, and it's overwhelming. So as an ask, please don't send me InMail as I've stopped responding to general connect requests and use the methods above to meet.
Thanks, and I look forward to connecting with you! |

What attracted you to Flybits? Flybits’ leadership, vision, the people & culture, and the quality of our platform which is enabling the next generation of contextual experience and digital transformation in banking and financial services.

Paul joined forces with Rebecca Lynn and Gary Little as a founding member of Canvas Ventures in 2014, with the purpose of creating the type of boutique firm he would have liked to work with as an entrepreneur himself, one where every investment is meaningful and where he can spend his time working with his founders to scale their business. At Canvas, Paul’s investments include eporta, Fluxx Labs, Kidbox, MasonHub, Flowspace, Roofstock, Shoreline Software, Skyflow, Thrive Global, Transfix, and Zola. He has also pioneered the firm’s work in co-creation— helping start new companies by match-making domain experts with market opportunity in areas ripe for disruption.
A former partner at NEA, Paul spent ten years helping companies scale from garage-scale startups to IPO and acquisition. Paul found that he loved the venture business, and he had an innate curiosity to learn about how others built meaningful companies. While at NEA, he worked alongside companies including Salesforce (CRM), Tableau Software, Coursera, Spreadtrum Communications, Workday (WDAY), Upwork, Gaikai (SNE), Boingo Wireless (WIFI), SMIC, and many others.
Paul is an entrepreneur at heart. He immigrated with his parents from Taipei in junior high. Contrary to his parent’s wishes for him to become a doctor, he leveraged his mechanical and biomedical engineering degrees from MIT, where he launched startup in the medical device space tackling open-heart surgery, and his MBA from HBS, where he launched a startup in the network security space called Mazu Networks. Paul financed the early days of Mazu on credit cards, camped outside of customer prospects and venture firms in minivan rentals, and got his break when he attracted financing support from Greylock, Matrix and Benchmark Capital. Mazu was a pioneer in network security built from technology developed at MIT. Early adopters of Mazu’s proprietary DDoS-security platform, which was eventually acquired by Riverbed Technology, included Yahoo, eBay and CNN, and Paul is proud to say that the engineering team and underlying software paved the foundation later for Meraki. |

An entrepreneur and technologist at heart. I have over 15 years of enterprise quality web-app architecture and development experience in the private sector.
I was introduced to computers at an early age and learned to use DOS before I could fully read and write English.
At the age of 13 - before the general availability of the internet - I was heavily involved in the Toronto BBS community, and had my own local BBS system (with a single phone line), as well as a local computer repair business.
With the advent of the internet and the Linux movement, and motivated by the idea that I could come up with an idea and make it a reality, I learned to program C, and PHP, as well as the inner workings of Linux and system administration.
Having been involved in dozens of high-volume consulting web projects (ranging from custom dynamic DNS server software, webcam driven websites, affiliate marketing systems and credit card processing), I developed the software that would later become SiteScout.
I have been involved in every level of internet business, from design and marketing, to monetization and strategy. I thrive on creating powerful software solutions for the real world. |

An art collector and former VP of business development for three successful Internet startups, Payton Stiewe revels in packaging homes so that they communicate to a particular buyer. For sellers, that often means a pre-sale home makeover—and must-see open houses.
Whether it’s throwing a barbecue for brokers or folding a listing into an architect association’s tour of the city, Payton is known for presenting homes in unique and sometimes unexpected ways. He partners with the best—from interior decorators to painters and florists—and will even knock down a few walls to get a house ready for sale. “I’m a big believer that if you package something well, you’ll get a higher price for it,” he says.
As a result, Payton+Binnings’ open houses have a reputation among brokers as not-to-be-missed events. For Payton, packaging a house—prepping it, staging it, and creatively getting the word out about it—is as much about understanding people as it is about understanding the market. “One of the critical steps in packaging a house is communicating to a particular buyer’s profile,” explains Payton. “Buyers have to feel enticed to come to the house, spend time at the house, and envision themselves living in the house.”
Payton, who was raised in Germany before relocating to the U.S., started his career as a Realtor representing Sotheby’s International Real Estate in 2002 after helping launch three successful high-tech startups. As a business development strategist and general manager for When.com, Evite.com, and Expertcity (GoToMyPC.com), Payton sharpened his innate sales, marketing, and negotiation skills.
Payton Stiewe and his family.Today, Payton and his wife, Bettina, are active members of the Headlands Center for the Arts, and Payton is on the American Institute of Architects committee for selecting homes for its annual AIA tour of San Francisco and Marin. Passionate about improving education in the U.S., Payton is also a Marin Montessori Trustee. “I know what it’s like to be young and single, then married, and then married with kids, so I can personally relate to my clients’ real estate needs from experience—no matter what their demographic.” |

Perry is an entrepreneur and early-stage venture capitalist with a passion for building disruptive companies that transform markets or create entirely new ones.
“I love working with entrepreneurs that are on a mission to change the world. Most people are afraid to take the first step. It’s a privilege to be a part of their journey,” says Perry.
As a serial entrepreneur, Perry has learned firsthand what is required to create an industry-defining company from the ground up and what it means to have investors who believe in you every step of the way. His work as an operating executive includes building a number of successful startups from their beginning, including two IPOs (Xilinx and Mpath Interactive) and two companies he founded and served as CEO through their acquisitions: BitGravity (acquired by Tata), a pioneer in online video and Persist Technologies (acquired by HP), one of the first cloud storage companies.
Perry is also a seasoned venture investor who enjoys working with entrepreneurs early on in their life. Prior to joining AI Fund, Perry worked at Accel Partners, Bedrock Capital, and ComVentures.
“THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE AI. THAT’S THE EXCITING PART. THE INTERNET IMPACTED EVERYTHING FROM FASHION, TO REAL ESTATE, TO INDUSTRIAL SECTORS, TO TRANSPORTATION. AI IS THE ONLY OTHER TECHNOLOGY THAT WE’VE SEEN CAPABLE OF IMPACTING EVERY INDUSTRY.”
When not helping to build new companies, Perry enjoys playing water polo, surfing, skiing, golfing, fly-fishing, playing the guitar, and spending time with his family. “Having done this for such a long time, I’ve realized that part of being a great entrepreneur and leader is making sure you don’t lose sight of the things that are important and living a balanced life.”
Perry holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS in electrical engineering from Stanford University. |

Peter works with a long and growing list of European start-up companies, advising them on how to develop their IP strategies in a way that will build and support exit value.
He also makes sure their IP plays the part that it should within both business planning and fund raising. He has helped many of his clients successfully navigate a course through a series of funding rounds. He also sits on a number of boards for his clients so they can take full advantage of his broader commercial experience.
Building on his reputation as a leading IP strategist in the IAM Strategy 300, Peter has developed a suite of IP consultancy products addressing the need for innovation capture, IP audit and commercial strategy development for technology companies seeking private equity funding. Likewise, he has developed IP due diligence products for investors designed to evaluate and test the strength of a business’s IP. His approach provides investors with a pragmatic and cost-effective way to evaluate the IP risks associated with technology investments to ensure they get the right deal.
Peter regularly writes on the subject of IP strategy development and implementation in technology magazines such as SmallBusiness.co.uk, NS Tech and UKTN, and he has been published in the scientific journal Drug Discovery Today on the use of artificial intelligence in drug repurposing.
Peter has considerable experience before the UK Intellectual Property Office and European Patent Office handling complex cases relating to the protection of computer-implemented inventions. He handles high-value standards-essential patents in the telecommunications field and routinely appears before the EPO and UK IPO at oral proceedings. |

Peter is Co-founder and General Partner of the Seed Milestone fund, and also CEO and Managing Partner of Act 5 Ventures LLC. He has been a serial entrepreneur for much longer than he wants to acknowledge, launching more than a dozen startups in SaaS, Fintech, professional services, mobility/LBS, and consumer products, and experiencing exits in both the public and private equity markets, Peter has been an active angel investor for 18+ years, and is affiliated with several well-known angel groups (e.g., Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs, Keiretsu Forum, US Angels, Bay Angels, …). He has also mentored dozens of early-stage companies and their founders over the last 20 years. Peter was a founding principal of several venture- and angel-backed startups, among them: Perspectrum LLC (founder, managing partner); The EARN Group (co-founder, managing principal); Lexica Software (founder & CEO; acquired by Buena Venture Associates); InsureZone (co-founder and CTO; privately held); Alysis Technologies (MBO participant; IPO 1995; acquired by Pitney-Bowes). He has extensive experience in business strategy, operations, finance, due diligence, technology, software product development, marketing, and governance.
Peter has served on over 10 for-profit and nonprofit Executive and Advisory boards, and has been a consultant to senior management at Fortune-500 firms including Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, Policy Management Systems (now CSC), Argo Insurance Group, Bank of America, Mellon Capital, American Express and Microsoft. He has created business-leading development and growth strategies for early-stage firms in the financial services, insurance, mobility, software, consumer durables, food and beverage, personal security, and other industries.
In the technology sphere, he has defined and developed groundbreaking systems ranging from the world’s largest document imaging system, to distributed, high-volume new business and customer management systems, institutional portfolio management platforms, and the insurance industry’s first Internet e-commerce platform. He architected an early location-based, telematics-integrated mobile personal assistant platform at the dawn of the smartphone era. Earlier, he was the second member of the speech research lab in Apple’s Advanced Technology Group, and earlier co-designed the first high-speed networks at HP Labs.
Peter lives in Marin County, California, with his daughters Caroline and Claire, and Ginger their wildly overindulged miniature Goldendoodle. When not enjoying global travel or hiking the Marin foothills with his girls, Peter can often be found taking and editing photographs, exercising, reading, writing, looking for yet another audiophile experience, cooking gourmet meals, or mixing serious martinis and Manhattans for friends. |

hello@townandtown.com |
http://www.rca.ac.uk/ |
https://petertown.com/ |
My name is Peter Town, and I act as both coach and mentor to entrepreneurs launching their businesses. After many years running my own successful creative consultancy, I now help in the exciting area of business start-ups. As I also invest in some of these new businesses, I benefit from unique insight into the early development process through my ongoing relationship with the major players.
> What’s the problem? I have seen a great many pitches from young hopefuls who exude enthusiasm for their product or concept, but sadly this confidence is often misplaced. I have identified 3 key areas where I find experience is lacking:
1. Soft business skills
A lack of self-awareness, motivation and commitment to themselves and their teams means that they are often ill-prepared to pitch to a potential investor. I help by providing one-to-one coaching to improve their presentation skills and guarantee a good result.
2. Creative management
Too much emphasis on the legal and financial aspects of starting a business often leaves entrepreneurs lacking the basic tools to succeed. I help by showing how they can be creative in managing the resources they have available, allowing them to do more with less.
3. Sales savvy
A lack of understanding of the customer’s needs, or a failure to identify the correct customer profile, often leads to misdirected marketing budgets. By deploying a few basic techniques such as research, focus groups and product testing, I help entrepreneurs achieve their objectives and keep their investors happy.
What’s the best solution?
No one solution fits all, and clients use my services in several different ways. For some, one-to-one mentoring works best, while others might choose team building skills, but in almost all cases I provide advice on sales and marketing strategy. |

Phil is a producer and a maker. His career began as a theatre director teaching him how to build something from nothing, how to build tightly unified teams and how to tell a story.
His career transitioned from making tech-heavy art into making tech with a producer mindset. This phase of his career culminated in his role as CTO at the massive file-sharing company - Kazaa. At its height, this company was the majority of data travelling through the internet and played a material role in the emergence of how media is shared today.
After Kazaa, Phil co-founded the first tech incubator in Asia Pacific - Pollenizer. Here he played an instrumental role in developing the startup ecosystem across Asia Pacific and advised some of the world’s biggest organisations on practical ways to deliver new growth and the cultural change that is required to get there.
In 2016, he led and designed the program for ON, CSIRO's national deep tech accelerator program.

How was working through several downturns informed your view as an operator, advisor, and investor?
I have been involved with technology startups since the late 90s, first by co-founding and leading several companies, and later by investing in many high-growth startups. Over my 25 year career, I experienced quite a few downturns. Through these downturns, I was able to see how the ability to face and respond to such adverse and unforeseen events was a key long-term success factor required for the best startups.
In downturns, I have learned first-hand that many of the following elements could have a life or death impact on the business: the presence of strong and positive company culture; the alignment of all the founders; the flexibility, persistence, and resilience of the management team: the underlying strength of the unit economics, and the level of satisfaction of the company’s partners and customers.
Do you miss being a founder/operator? What are some highs and lows of being a founder?
I tremendously miss my experience of starting and running companies. The thrills include the “aha moment” of figuring out the market dynamics; defining a vision for the company and reaching alignment on the path forward; going outside of your comfort zone and adjusting to all kind of complexities; the motivation and learning that comes from working with such great employees, investors and partners; closing the first large six-figure deals and framing the check or invoice; listening to delighted customers; and seeing team members fulfill their tremendous potential. All of this was so incredibly exciting, but I don’t miss the lonely periods I sometimes felt as a CEO, and the times when I would wake up in the middle of the night being worried about (often-insignificant) issues. |

We truly believe that "what gets measured gets managed". CEM measures value for the dollars spent by pension and sovereign wealth funds who manage institutional assets and member services. 'Did paying more, get you more?'
Unique Global Database: We have been collecting detailed cost and performance data from the world’s top pension and sovereign wealth funds for over 25 years.
Comprehensive Analysis and Reporting: Our reports and insights provide actionable insights and are used strategically as well as to help meet fiduciary responsibilities.
Knowledge Sharing: We work closely with hundreds of expert pension practitioners worldwide and are in a unique position to capture and share this expertise with our clients.
Independent and Objective: Benchmarking pension and sovereign wealth funds is all we do. We do not manage assets.
Confidentiality: The information that CEM collects is sensitive. We are very careful about how we handle it. We do not disclose individual fund data or results to third parties.
Rashay joined CEM in 2021 and is responsible overall strategy and performance of the business. He is deeply passionate about improving the lives of retirees, insisting on a client-first approach to our growth. He brings more than 20 years of experience in financial services, spanning asset management, capital markets and transaction banking.

Reid is a Silicon Valley stalwart in the modern technology world. An accomplished entrepreneur and executive, he played an integral role in building many of today’s leading consumer technology businesses, including LinkedIn and PayPal. As an investor, he has been instrumental in the success of iconic companies such as Facebook and Airbnb and has helped fast-growing newcomers like Aurora and Convoy get to scale.
Reid joined Greylock in 2009 and focuses on early-stage investing in products that can reach hundreds of millions of participants. His unique understanding of consumer behavior and a clear-eyed ability to guide startups from inception through ramped-up “blitzscaling” has made him one of the most sought-after advisors, partners, and investors today. Reid was a board observer for Airbnb and currently serves as a board director for Aurora, Blockstream, Coda, Convoy, Entrepreneur First, Joby Aviation, Microsoft, Nauto, Neeva, and a few early-stage companies still in stealth.
Reid’s core focus is on businesses with network effects. In 2003, he co-founded LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network that today has more than 700 million members and a diversified revenue model that includes subscriptions, advertising, and software licensing. Before LinkedIn, Reid served as executive vice president at PayPal, where he was a founding board member and responsible for all of the company’s external relationships.
His foundational thesis of the power of networks extends beyond marketplaces and social ecosystems. Recently, it has led to his investments in sectors including autonomous transportation, cryptocurrency, and shipping logistics. |

- Simple (portfolio) acquired for $117+M (2014)
- Credit Karma (portfolio) acquired for $7+B (2019)
- Canva, BarkBox, etc. (soon-to-be).
Complex systems is my specialty. Whether it's a technology, business or personal challenge, I love deconstructing them into sub-systems and isolated components in order to find a solution to a problem or an opportunity for growth.
Besides operating a venture fund, I make venture capital education more accessible to increase diversity in the industry. "Diversity is like charity: if you're really into it, you don't talk about it much".
After selling my business, I started investing as an angel investor and raised a $20M fund in 2011. I then joined a Fintech fund and moved on to a corporate venture arm of an Asian 'unicorn'. I currently run another corporate VC fund.
Before I started investing myself, I helped startups raise ~$30M from state institutions, as well as ~$20M from venture investors.
As an entrepreneur, I built one of the most successful franchise media networks in Eastern Europe.

I have been intimately involved in advising, founding, investing, growing, and at times restructuring private and publicly traded early stage and middle market companies for more than 35 years - sell side and buy side. My activities have helped companies accelerate revenues and profitability, align interests and work towards common objectives. Nevertheless, if only I had received the benefit of expert and honest feedback, at times painful, from more seasoned managers than myself, I am sure I would have made better decisions and been more effective. If you are running a business and need help navigating the intricacies of choosing between investment in growth, M&A activity or cashing in, I can help you attack and conquer these challenges.
I have broad-based experience in a range of sectors including healthcare, software, manufacturing, and business services. I have strong transactional and financial skills in debt and equity finance, M&A, strategic planning, marketing, operations and corporate governance. My experience includes Board, Audit and Compensation committee representation and Officer roles with 9 private companies and 5 non-profits.
My qualifications include:
Knowledge and issue specific experience | Strategic vision | Professional leadership | Hands on work ethic | Interim CEO and CFO roles | Bottom line focus | Honesty
Issues I have helped on include:
Deal Origination | Mergers & Acquisitions | Transaction Due Diligence | Acquisition Integration | Private and Public financings of both equity and debt including IPOs and SPACs | Equity Recapitalizations |Banking and Shareholder Relations | Negotiation of Credit Agreements and Amendments | Financial Reporting | Financial Forecasting | Pre-sale Planning | Strategic and Operational Planning | Marketing and Sales Strategy Development | Risk Management | Operational Re-engineering | Cost Reduction and Profit Optimization | Senior leadership Recruitment | HR Compensation & Policy | Cash Flow & Liquidity Management | Crisis Management | Shareholder Disputes |

Robert brings experience both building and investing in groundbreaking companies. Before joining SoftBank, Robert led investments across commerce enablement and enterprise software as a Principal at B Capital Group. After starting his career at JP Morgan, he helped run business operations at a seed-stage ad-tech startup and later was the Head of Growth at Spring (acq. ShopRunner). Robert received a BBA from the University of Michigan and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
As someone who has always been intellectually curious, I loved the excitement and challenge of helping build technology startups. That said, when you work at a startup, you typically go an inch wide and a mile deep with the goal of becoming an expert in your specific market or function.
I found that I preferred to be a mile wide and a couple inches deep. What attracted me to venture capital was the opportunity to build a perspective on how market landscapes are shifting and then back the best teams conquering those markets. I try to combine my macro views with my understanding of the operating challenges startups are up against to help build sustainable business models.
We provide flexible capital and a compelling platform for our portfolio companies. We can support companies when they need to step on the gas and scale the business, and stay with them as they continue their ascent.
As an investor focused on consumer and commerce enablement software, I wanted to be at a fund that is willing to invest in truly innovative technologies and business models. Many VCs are great at pattern matching business models that push us a step or two forward, but SoftBank is willing to make bets on technologies that can fundamentally change the way we operate and interact. |

An Opportunity Creator, I combine years of entrepreneurial experience and use a unique process that I developed to help my clients articulate their ideas, identify the right funding sources and develop a step-by-step action plan that builds a bridge between their vision and financial goals.
Using this model, I obtained well more than $400 million in funding for clients. Since I have been part of decision-making teams that allocated more than $1 billion in funding, I know first-hand exactly what information purse string holders want to know. This results in exceptionally high funding success rates that are nearly 20 times higher than industry average.
Sample successes:
• $9.3 million for a start-up company to commercialize a new technology
• Won more than $50 million in funding for a single client over five years
• $1.1 million to fund an innovative biomass demonstration project for a start-up company
• $3 million to fund a tribal economic development project
• $7.7 million to fund a telecommunications project
For example, for a military and Homeland Security client, we developed a powerful value statement emphasizing the company’s strengths, industry-unique features and benefits to target funding sources. They won 27 Federal contracts, including a $16 million cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Federal Detention Trustee.
For a group of tech researchers who created an innovative data server technology, we developed an extensive proposal, including the work plan, budget, timeline, goals and objectives and all project justifications. They received $9.2 million in Department of Energy funding. A large, well-known technology firm acquired the company.
Featured relationships we built included: Wal-Mart, Kroger, HEB, Walgreens, U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency, FEMA, U.S. EPA, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, XPEDX, Halliburton and Cardinal Health, among others. |

I have been fortunate to be at the forefront of the major consumer technology trends of the last 20 years as an operator building disruptive mobile and internet services in the social, digital media, payments/commerce, local and advertising spaces. I am addicted to innovation and new technology.
During these entrepreneurial experiences in product and business leadership roles, I teamed with many talented people to build, monetize and scale mass market consumer services and platforms across the web and mobile. Through building one startup to IPO (Zynga), scaling four startups (Zynga, Imgur, Atom Entertainment, July Systems, Prio), operating at three public companies (Viacom, Zynga, InfoSpace), and living through many pivots and successful exits (Zynga, Atom Entertainment, Prio), I have many scars but also learned first hand how to build successful venture-backed businesses and have fun while doing it.
In addition to being an operator, I advise entrepreneurs and venture funds and invest in internet and mobile startups.

The sustainable alignment of people and technology is vital to our future.
Today, the two are inextricable. Technology solves business needs, such as manufacturing, supply chains, communications, and computing. But what about improving our lives? How can we leverage technology to engineer the products and platforms we need to find the right balance?
Understanding how to separate the noise from the signals is key. Focus on adopting technology that enhances responsible business, customer experience and quality of life. Build on proven digital technologies. Invest in STEM education, professional development and a diverse, equitable and inclusive community of minds to steer the next digital revolution.
I lead Product, Platform and Engineering Modernization for Accenture in North America. I provide guidance from strategy to execution to operations in engineering process, organizational structure, digital architecture and product design. My team helps our enterprise clients at each step of their digital transformation: accelerating platform growth, refining manufacturing ecosystems and adopting proven technologies, like cloud, edge and applied AI.
In my 25+ years in product and engineering, as a tech, manager and leader, I’ve learned building blocks and business challenges are the same no matter the industry. Success relies on support. Support from friends and family, teachers and mentors, our colleagues and CEOs. To drive impact towards responsible business and sustainability, you need to pay it forward. Reach out if you’re interested in joining a conversation that will bring balance and alignment to our tech-filled lives.
To close, I would like to quote Amanda Gorman, National Youth Poet Laureate:
“We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, become the future.
Our blunders become their burdens.
But one thing is certain.
If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left.” |

Ryan Eagle is a world recognized business financier and operator with a pedigree of success behind him.
Ryan Eagle transitioned into private equity in late 2013 by launching XCell Fund. Ryan Eagle is the principal investor of all transactions on behalf the company. XCell Fund provides debt restructuring and financing to corporations in exchange for convertible debt or equity. XCell Fund focuses its financing division on public companies listed on American, Canadian, and German exchanges with a market cap less of than 300mm. XCell Fund is heavily vested into artificial intelligence, machine learning, mining, fintech, internet advertising, and SaaS technologies. Ryan Eagle both administers executive decisions on all financing arrangements and manages the sales team that works to develop and grow relationships.
Ryan Eagle has years of experience leveraging complex financial instruments to restructure debt that companies have taken on. Through XCell Fund, Ryan Eagle negotiates, refinances, and buys toxic debt in a way that allows the company, retail investors, and institutional investors to succeed. In 2016, this division of XCell Fund was the fastest growing because it's beneficial to every party involved. Beyond financing, XCell Fund shares resources including marketing strategy, operations, technology development, and branding to ensure that capital investments succeed. Ryan Eagle's strategy with the majority of his financial investments is to pair it with a paired effort that can help fortify the company and make the funds invested reach higher potential. These resources are entirely internalized by Sidago Integrated Solutions, a business process offshoring company.
Sidago Integrated Solutions was founded in 2013 parallel to XCell Fund as a way to centralize all operational and marketing resources. By organizing employees under one umbrella, Ryan can quickly deploy operations to businesses in various sectors and ensure that investments are successful. Ryan Eagle is the President of Sidago and oversees workflow processes, manages clients, and directs R&D projects. Sidago provides business process outsourcing (BPO) to medium and large companies. Beyond staff augmentation, Sidago can review current workflow processes in businesses and transfer operations offshore. Through Ryan Eagle's leadership, the salary and benefit cost savings are astronomical for businesses with cost savings exceeding 50% while increasing output. Ryan Eagle only takes on clients based on referrals to make sure that his time is spent with businesses that truly want to succeed.
In 2021, XCell Fund plans to emphasize it's focus on taking private businesses public by providing the entire array of financing, legal resources, marketing arrangements, institutional capital raising and investor relations. Ryan Eagle's role is to both coordinate resources and to strategically position businesses in a way that will build successful markets for private clients. Several private entities owned by XCell Fund were the first businesses to pioneer this process and are slated for direct public offerings in late 2021. XCell Fund is actively seeking private businesses with annual revenues exceeding 10mm to take into the public market.
In the private sector, Ryan Eagle is involved with businesses in the following industries: professional services, advertising technologies, local businesses, legal and direct response offers. These companies are created to generate cashflow. Companies generating revenues exceeding 10mm annually are slated to go public in 2021 as the marketplace allows more agility with raising money and exiting from positions. Annually, Ryan Eagle takes on one private business to build, grow and act as an advisor. |

Sales is an incredibly underrated career path. I was fortunate early in my career to join a public, high-growth tech company as an individual contributor where I generated $30,000,000+ in top-line revenue (>300% to target) over 5 years. At the end of my tenure, I ranked in the top 10 of revenue producers all-time for the company’s flagship and largest category.
A number of my professional accomplishments are directly tied to the people that have been willing to help me along the way. In 2017, I signed up to build Victory Lap as employee #3 because I wanted to pay that forward.
I spent 3 years selling the value of integrating talent development with talent acquisition to leaders at high-growth startups and technology companies. I’ve found an immense amount of professional and personal fulfillment in directly helping over 1,000 talented humans land sales roles across hundreds of companies.
I now lead Beyond’s new business development team in the United States. Our software empowers property managers to become revenue management experts. We provide the only solution offering dynamic pricing through hyper-local analytics that helps maximize revenue, and enables managers to retain and grow their portfolios.
In January, 2021 I co-authored a guide with my friend Scott Leese to help aspiring sales leaders understand and prepare for the move into management. There aren't a ton of resources dedicated to helping sales reps map out a strategy for this transition, so we decided to create one.
I’m passionate about technology, startups, and democratizing sales. I also spent 8 years in London, England and am a dual citizen of the US & UK. Let’s connect if I can help you, or if we can learn from one another.
Thank you! |

I am an executive that works to realize outlier returns for stakeholders in token-enabled decentralized consensus networks that leverage blockchain technology.
After decade working in renewable energy focused on the negotiation, development, execution and operation of utility-scale renewable generation assets, I discovered Bitcoin in late 2012 and subsequently became very passionate about the Ethereum ecosystem and blockchain technology generally. I began as an Angel Investor supporting start-ups developing deeply compelling innovations with blockchain-enabled networks. Today, my focus is on finding great projects and technical teams that could realize significant network effects with the right tokenization strategy for the Polychain Capital fund as well as finding great investment partners to help Polychain Capital continue its outlier growth.
I bring a deep understanding of the synergies to be realized across relevant fields for most start-ups: commercial, strategic, financial & tax, legal, corporate governance as well technical. As a former senior executive of large-scale multi-lateral industrial projects in a diverse set of countries and CEO of a major Brazilian energy firm, my experience allows me to add significant value for talented technical teams in order to optimize their growth.

What do instant background checks, phishing detection, and data wrangling have in common? Well, they are all things companies need — and tools Saad has made sure enterprises have access to after helping lead investments for companies such as Certn, NS1, Incorta, Spekit, and Trifacta.
It’s no surprise Saad is great at scaling companies, he has an incredible drive to help promising prospects grow — be it companies, or people. So much so, that he also mentors college students on chartering their career paths and landing their first jobs. That’s passion we can get behind, and so can former President Obama — he awarded Saad the Volunteer Service Award, after all. |

Saam is the first partner to enterprise entrepreneurs as they navigate product-market fit and go-to-market scale on the path to building foundational companies.
Saam is wholly focused on partnering with the next generation of enterprise software entrepreneurs, leveraging his experience helping companies scale from initial product through growing revenues. He partners with entrepreneurs at the seed and early stages who are focused on new opportunities in applied AI, cybersecurity, data and machine learning infrastructure, and SaaS.
At Greylock, Saam has led investments in and sits on the board of security companies like Abnormal, Apiiro, and others in stealth; application companies like Cresta; data & analytics companies like Snorkel, and infrastructure companies that are also still operating in stealth. Additionally, he works closely with Avi Networks (acq. by VMWare), Blend (NYSE: BLND), Clockwise, and Notable Health.
“I love meeting exceptional founders who are obsessively customer centric, as soon as they begin thinking about starting a new company.”
“Our best investments include those that started with just one or two people, a whiteboard and the will to reinvent an entire industry. Supporting founders as they craft and deliver their product to the first few customers’ hands is what gets me most excited,” said Saam.
Saam brings hands on perspective on the ideas and people who have the potential to drive the transformation of the enterprise software stack. Prior to joining Greylock, Saam founded Guru Labs, a machine learning driven fintech startup, and previously worked in product management at RelateIQ, one of the first applied AI software companies. There, Saam drove the development of data products before and through the company’s acquisition by Salesforce.
His background makes him a natural partner to founders as they navigate the first critical steps of company-building, recruiting and customer development. He is dually obsessed with helping founders advance nascent concepts into companies, and understanding the inner-workings and needs of large enterprise customers.
“Every company is now a technology company, and the software stack that powers them is transforming,” says Saam. “The move to cloud, the rise of AI/ML, and a focus on quality of end-user workflow and collaboration create abundant opportunities for entrepreneurs to deliver new superior and disruptive products and solutions.”
Saam grew up in Houston, Texas and holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, where he was a Mayfield Fellow. Outside of work, Saam is an avid tennis player, reader of old books, and fervent fan of Stanford and Houston sports teams. |

***NO BANDWIDTH = NOT LOOKING FOR NEW INVESTMENTS***
#DecencyPledge
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DON'T REQUEST TO JOIN MY NETWORK IF WE HAVE NEVER MET.
BUSINESS FIT?
Angel now only interested in sub-segment of HealthTech: no health, no nothing. Looking for solutions to problems anyone can understand, but require deep tech: simple yet hard. Avoid solutions for government programs, insurance companies, hospitals, EMR, MD offices, and HR. Like credible plans with little marketing spend. Love great UX. Even if your idea is a disruptive/revolutionary/game-changing/exponential crowdfunded drone nano robotic AI gamification of crypto VR/AR wearable social media cloud mobile security Big Data IoT blockchain for personalized Martian health, I will not tell you it won't work. What do I know.
INVESTMENT FIT?
USA Delaware C-Corp? Plausible 20X exit in 5 years? If sure want investors, then please intrigue me with ONE sentence over LinkedIn message (NOT a LinkedIn invitation). Require direct contact with founder(s), so strong preference for NY startups. Need founders who can personally build product. Not afraid to be your first investor and maybe even your only investor. Want direct competitors to show up after you or better have a very powerful secret weapon. I'm a simple man, so use simple equity term sheet and NOT interested in notes or SAFEs. No FOMO. Will kill VC raise if strips pro rata rights. Invest into companies directly and have never once invested in a fund of any kind: for guaranteed fees, I want guaranteed results. Just not my thing. If you receive any kind of compensation tied to fundraising, please do not contact me.
PERSONAL FIT?
Strive to remain open, but feel the need to think for myself. Cold on what's hot. Like to help, but don't promise founders anything beyond cash since that's all I can guarantee. Wish I was a geek so I could build my own ideas. Embrace helping others build theirs. Zero tolerance for integrity issues no matter how amazing you are in every other respect. Life is too short. |

I have been working in the Venture Capital industry for the past 25 years. One of the nice things about being in the venture business for so long is that I’ve had the opportunity to partner with companies in a diverse set of industries, such as SaaS applications, IoT, wireless communications, datacenter infrastructure, core technology, and consumer applications and products. Some of the companies I have previously worked with include DigitalThink (DTHK, Convergys), SnapTrack (QCOM), Fulcrum Microsystems (INTC), and Sierra Wireless (SWIR).
In financing start-ups and partnering with their management teams, my focus has been in contributing to their strategies for financing, go-to-market, technology commercialization, and team building.
I presently serve in a variety of board and advisory roles with companies such as Agilence, Kitu Systems, Table8, Simility, Kngine, and FounderSuite.
I am currently in development of a super-secret, stealthy project that will reflect on some fundamental changes in the start-up and venture capital industry.... |

Special focus is given to accounting processes and business management. My personal focus is to make sure your accounting actually is accurate and guides your business decisions instead of just being done because you have to file your taxes.
Companies I have personally owned and run include professional accounting services, auto dealerships, CD and DVD manufacturing, music instrument manufacturing, music distribution, sound recording, bars and nightclubs, technology and software companies, real estate ventures, and others. |

http://pevcbanker.com/ |
1999 – The year I started my career within venture capital. I still remember the time well. Companies going public in 18 months with vanity metrics while nearly 1100 venture firms worked feverishly to deploy $100B+ of capital into incredible companies like Webvan and Pets.com. Fun times.
A lot has happened since then, and I count myself fortunate to have seen a lot through my journey as a banker and angel investor.
A couple of years ago, I decided to finally get off the proverbial couch and start my blogging as a hobby as I’ve had a unique seat in the market and wanted to share perspectives of mine and others more broadly.
Reflecting back now, I have a few observations:
1) Writing is freaking HARD. I have the utmost respect for active bloggers, professional writers, and authors. Translating thoughts to paper isn’t easy. Writer’s block is real. Doing it with any sort of tangible frequency requires a unbelievable amount of commitment and time.
2) Blogging is incredibly fulfilling and therapeutic. At least for me it is. It forces you to get away from the day-to-day minutiae and distraction and drives reflection and thought.
3) I get to meet a lot of incredibly smart and interesting people in the market. I can’t emphasize this enough. My day-to-day provides me the daily privilege to chat with Entrepreneurs, VC’s, Angels, Limited Partners, and other great constituents.
So why am I sharing all of this?
In today’s connected world where news and information are ubiquitous, far too much real time perspective is still hidden from public consumption because of reason #1 listed above. I rarely find the great viewpoints I hear daily anywhere with consistency. In fact, even in today’s blogging world, <10% of people within the valley actively blog.
The goal of this blog is provide my perspective along with others in the valley around a whole host of topics.
I’ll end with my safe harbor statement and disclose that the opinions and information reflected on this site do not necessarily reflect those of my employer (First Republic Bank). |

For most of the past twenty years, I've been building quality agencies that attract quality teams in order to build quality products.
I sold my first agency, Monsoon, to Capital One in 2015.
I spent the next three years understanding how products are built inside of a large corporation. We are using that experience to do even better work at Kunai.
We have the designers, developers, and product managers to take ideas from napkin sketches to deployment at scale. What can we help you build? |

Sandra Shpilberg (she/her, Hispanic) is a post-exit entrepreneur, SPAC founder and the author of the award-winning book New Startup Mindset: 10 Mindset Shifts to Build the Company of Your Dreams.
She’s the founder, CEO, and Board Director of Sanaby Health, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) devoted to accelerating innovation in healthcare. Sanaby Health Acquisition Corp. I (Nasdaq: SANBU, SANB, SANBW) had its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in October 2021, when she made history by becoming the first Hispanic woman founder of a SPAC to take that company public.
She’s also an active real estate investor, focusing on commercial properties for the delivery of healthcare in the United States, and the co-founder of Adnexi, a key opinion leader discovery platform for biopharma.
The book New Startup Mindset is based on her experience starting, building, and then exiting Seeker Health, a digital patient-finding platform to accelerate the development of treatments for patients who really need them. Since starting the company in 2015, Shpilberg developed a breakthrough software product, filed a US patent, and built a team that served 60+ biopharmaceutical companies. In September 2018, EVERSANA, the leading independent provider of global services to the life science industry, acquired Seeker Health.
Prior to these entrepreneurial pursuits, Shpilberg held executive roles at biopharmaceutical companies. She served as Vice President of Commercial Development and Strategic Marketing for Nora Therapeutics, and as Executive Director at BioMarin Pharmaceutical where she led the commercial launches of NAGLAZYME and KUVAN, and advanced the product development of PALINZIQ from Phase 2 to Phase 3. Ms. Shpilberg’s innovative spirit is captured in the book A Rare Breed, about BioMarin’s history.
Medical Marketing & Media named her a Top 40 Healthcare Transformer, and she was a featured speaker at 2018 SXSW. She’s originally from Uruguay, speaks fluent Spanish, and brings a global approach to her work and impact. She’s also a contributor at Hackernoon, InsightTimer and at Arianna Huffington’s wellness platform, Thrive Global. She serves on the board of the Oshman Family JCC.
She holds a BBA in Accounting from Pace University and an MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Management from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. |

>>>If I have not met you before in person, please let me know why you would like to connect, Thx!<<<
I’ve founded 2 Companies, both harness cutting-edge technology, both focus on health.
My latest Company, CarePredict has a simple goal: making it easier to take care of and look out for Seniors. I’ve invented a wearable device called 'Tempo', the first designed for the elderly, which learns their activities of daily living and compiles these patterns into an individual's ‘Rhythm Journal’. Analyzing these patterns provides meaningful context and early or just-in-time alerts to loved ones and caregivers when things may be going wrong. It’s my best invention yet.
Prior to CarePredict, I founded ContinuLink, an innovative Home-care, Medical Staffing and Hospice IT SaaS platform which processed $550m in customer transactions in 2012. We sold the Company to Procura in 2011 and I exited in 2013.
Innovation and healthcare have been constant themes throughout my career - I’m passionate about exploring and finding new ways to tackle old and new problems. I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from being both a catalyst and driver of the innovation process.
I’ve got almost 3 decades of progressively senior IT sector experience and have spent the last 2 decades focused on Healthcare. I’ve been fortunate to have more than my fair share of firsts: I developed the first hypertext document management system with relevance ranked search, the first Physician Charge Capture mobile device, a highly innovative and widely acclaimed home care, medical staffing and hospice SaaS platform, and now the first wearable device to monitor Seniors and track behaviors via activity and location within their own home.

Why did you choose to be a venture capitalist?
I view my job as a privilege. It is an amazing opportunity to work with so many incredible people trying to change the world.
Why I got into Venture Capital…
I have worked at multiple startups and I know how difficult it is to build a company. These experiences helped me develop a sense of empathy and humility I try to bring to every interaction I have with entrepreneurs.
What is your favorite part about working with portfolio companies/entrepreneurs?
Supporting the people bold enough to try to change the world and getting a glimpse into the future every time I meet a new company.
How do you view your role with portfolio companies?
There is no more difficult job than running a startup. My job is to go to work for the entrepreneurs and to try to make their jobs a little easier.
What’s one thing people might not know about you?
I am an avid Houston Astros and Duke sports fan.
Favorite thing about San Francisco?
The people. This area has brought together so many incredible people from around the world with an optimistic view of the world and how it can be improved.
What is your favorite hobby/outside of venture, how do you spend your time?
I love the outdoors and can often be found hiking, climbing or playing golf.
Meditation or yoga?
I love yoga and one day hope to actually be able to touch my toes.
What makes Redpoint unique?
My favorite thing about Redpoint is that we work as a team rather than a collection of individuals. We work closely together to collectively help our entrepreneurs in any way we can. |

Seth is interested in the generational opportunity to re-build our financial infrastructure using software, and networks that connect people.
Seth joined Greylock in 2017, following a career as a product manager at Facebook, where he led the launch of Messenger as a standalone app. While controversial at the time, Messenger grew to be one of the few apps globally used by over 1 billion people every month.
Growing up in Winnipeg — a “Midwestern” Canadian town with few large corporations – entrepreneurship (albeit, in more traditional industries) drove outlier success.
“Role models included immigrants who came to Winnipeg from Italy to drive trucks, who then went on to build the largest private trucking company in North America,” says Seth.
“Technology is the entrepreneurial opportunity of our generation.”
In this spirit, when one of the National newspapers stopped distributing in Winnipeg, Seth and his partner struck a deal with the Toronto HQ to secure exclusive distribution rights – and eventually published their own paper. Aspiring for more than a local Prairie news empire, Seth joined Goldman Sachs in New York, where he worked in Technology and Media investment banking and helped take companies such as RetailMeNot and Intelsat public. While at Goldman, Seth joined a small dinner to recruit Product Managers for Facebook. After evenings learning to code by night while investment banking by day, he joined Facebook. Seth was one of the first Product Managers for Messenger, leading the separation into its own app, and then the business and developer platform. Seth holds eight messaging-based patents, including the algorithm behind who can slide into your DMs.
Since joining Greylock, Seth has been instrumental to the firm’s investments across fintech, media, and gaming. He serves as a board observer to Roblox, Payjoy, Wisetack, Validere, Ribbon Homes and Mammoth Media. He sees opportunities to reshape the way consumers interact with financial technology.
“Financial services have become a larger part of the economy, but they are intentionally opaque,” says Seth. “I’m interested in ways we can use technology for finance to do its intended job – act as an accelerant and infrastructure to our economy while reducing wasteful fees.” (Read More)
Seth is also passionate about mental health, and volunteers 4-hours per week at the San Francisco Suicide Prevention Hotline. |

I'm the Co-founder & President of XMTP. We are building a new communication protocol for Web3. It's basically a new way to message between wallets. We just raised $25m led by Andreessen Horowitz and many other great investors.
I'm the Founder & General Partner of Logos Labs. We invest in the future of remote work & Web3. Our companies have a combined valuation of $4+ billion. Founders & LPs, please reach out and say hello.
In 2017, I co-founded Squared Away to employ military spouses as executive assistants. We give the world their time back. We are profitable, $10m+ ARR, and have never raised venture funding.
I was CEO & Co-founder of Assist which merged with Conversocial and was acquired for $50 million by Verint ($VRNT). We spent 9 years at Assist building a business messaging & AI platform with partners like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Twitter. Our software powers Fortune 500 companies like T-Mobile, Fandango, 1-800-Flowers, Sephora, Best Buy, MGM hotels, and many more.
I previously worked on Gist.com, which was acquired by BlackBerry for over $40 million. We were one of the first social CRM companies and grew to over 100 million people by 2010. I've been featured in the NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, NPR's All Things Considered, Forbes, USA Today, and more.
Between building Gist & Assist, I moved to San Francisco to build and lead product at Zaarly, a local marketplace for home services. This was the biggest failure of my career. We blew over $40 million in venture funding, mostly driven by our own egos and lack of self-awareness. Looking back, this failure would change everything for how I thought about building companies in the future. Sometimes the darkest times are the ones that create the change needed in all of us. I was lucky to have great mentors and close friends to help me through it.
I like spending time with people who are in the arena. If you're struggling, need help, or just wanna talk about some crazy ideas, please reach out and say hello. It's hard doing your own thing. I'm so thankful for all those who have helped me along the way.
Send me a message on Twitter or just say hi → @shanemac
ASK
It was a simple idea then and it's a simple idea now. Over ten years ago I decided to start asking people one question they don't usually get asked. This simple idea has led to hundreds of interviews, a dinner series, and a personal mission to make the world a more curious place. Nothing has impacted my life and work more than working on this. Listen to ask on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, and Spotify. Some past guests include Simon Sinek, Gary Vaynerchuk, Steve Huffman, Chase Jarvis, Amanda Bradford, Jason Fried, Michelle Broderick, Grant Imahara, Ryan Carson, Brad Feld, Lewis Howes, Robert Stephens, and many more.
If we can make the world more curious, could everything be better? |

In 2007 Shawn gave up his quest for the perfect golf game because he discovered, as he terms it, a system that liberates Sales Warriors (aka Conversation Pigs) by providing so many conversations with decision makers so efficiently that it removes all excuses for non-performance and brings smiles to the usually harried faces of VP of Sales and CMOs. Prior to connecting the dots at ConnectAndSell, Shawn’s early successes included selling encyclopedias door to door in the Michigan winter and building both code and company for the world’s first mainframe storage system, earning him the nickname ‘the father of storage.’ Thirty years ago, Shawn snubbed his nose at Big Blue and built a wildly successful technology company in their wake. Today, he brings his pioneer spirit to the leadership team of ConnectAndSell. |

I'm a co-founder of Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV) in San Francisco, with Jake Gibson. We're a $75m fund that leads pre-seed and seed rounds in fintech companies globally, generally with a first check of $500k-$1.5m. We take a pretty broad view on fintech, and many vertical SaaS and marketplace businesses fit in our purview too. We invest for a better future and genuinely believe that our companies make the world better; fintech is a great way to improve people's lives.
We like investing at the seed stage because it allows us to have the greatest impact. Founders need help and support and we love being the first call - we are both entrepreneurs first, investors second. We love thinking through strategy, figuring out distribution, helping companies hire, and helping founders raise the next round. We roll up our sleeves and try to be the biggest cheerleaders and most trusted partners for our companies.
I’m also on the investment committee for the Catalyst Fund, an initiative to support entrepreneurs building financial solutions for the underserved in India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa.
I've invested in a lot of companies over the years (will add link to full list later). These are the ones that I have the most involvement in (usually board member/advisor and meaningful ownership). |

I’ve loved technology for as long as I can remember. It’s why I chose to be an engineer and why I still spend my spare time reading about how tech can improve everything from coffee brewing to furniture making. Investing gives me a chance to do for a living something that I’d gladly do for free – learning about technology.
The latest machine learning algorithms are the most disruptive technology I’ve ever been around. And I’ve had a chance to see everyone from early-stage startups to the U.S. government struggle to figure out how to take advantage of these advancements. Building a business is never easy.
Working at Point72 lets me meet people who quit their jobs to build new and exciting companies– and it’s tremendously gratifying to work with these folks to figure out how AI can be a central part of what they do. I wake up every morning excited at the prospect that we’ll be helping our founders build market leading companies in dozens of different industries. |

https://www.stephenjagger.com/ |
Stephen Jagger is an entrepeneur, author and speaker. He started his entrepreneurial journey in 2000 when he and long time business partner Mike Stephenson setup Combustion Hosting (acquired '06), followed by Ubertor Realtor Software (acquired '13). In 2012 they headed to the Philippines and setup OutsourcingThingsDone.com to provide virtual assistants to real estate professionals. OutsourcingThingsDone.com grew to 150 employees and discovered a need for HR and payroll software for the Philippines and they answered that call by setting up a company called PayrollHero, focused on time, attendance, scheduling, HR and payroll for the Philippines and Singapore. After living in Manila and Singapore for 4 years with his wife and children, Stephen returned back to Vancouver to launch Instant Messaging Real Estate Corp. to provide artificial intelligence services to the real estate industry.
Stephen co-authored the book Sociable! in 2009 with Shane Gibson and has spoken around the world at various real estate conferences, Entrepreneur Organization chapters and boards of trade events.

How I can help you?
I bring experience and knowledge to the table to tackle the difficulty of building complex software from idea to operations.
My primary interest and the place I feel I bring the most impact is the construction of software systems and the teams that make them. To make any system successful requires data, strategy, automation, and execution.
Sometimes this comes down to leading existing teams, transforming teams, upgrading culture, and leveling up team members. All of this is to produce Results.

Terence has experienced the downside of start-ups - losing money, being a founder that got fired and making tough financial decisions without all the information. He has also experienced the upside of start-ups - served as founder & CEO of a publicly traded company, early stage employee of a venture backed enterprise that experienced a $100MM+ exit, an angel investor, and business owner & operator.
Through his experiences, successes, and failures, Terence knows first hand how being part of a start-up, either as a founder, employee, or investor, can have significant and life changing personal financial planning implications - both positive and negative - for individuals and their families.
Part application of skill and experience and part higher calling, Terence operates as a registered investment advisor specifically serving the unique personal financial planning needs, challenges, and conflicts of those that are involved or seek to be involved in the early stage and start-up ecosystem.
As a registered investment advisor, Terence helps start-up founders, employees, and investors understand, address, and make informed decisions about questions, including:
> How many shares should I issue in my financing round?
> Should I exercise my stock options?
> Should I accept stock options as part of my compensation?
> Should I pursue venture or debt financing for my business?
> How do I find great start-ups & venture capital funds that can be an effective part of my investment portfolio?
> What do I do with my money after experiencing a big exit?
> What do I do if my business folds or if I am fired from the company I started?
Specifically, if you are someone that is seeking to find fulfillment and financial gain from participating in the start-up space in some form, Terence can help advise on a variety of financial planning and investment situations to help you reduce risk, improve likelihood of experiencing positive returns, and finding alternative paths to investing and financial success. |

Prior to Trinity, Tim was a vice president at GTCR in Chicago. He started his career in the early 1990s at TA Associates in Boston.
Tim was born and raised in the greater Boston area but has failed in getting his three children to share his love for New England sports teams. As they frequently point out, the Bay Area sports scene has more than enough to offer. Tim showed signs of entrepreneurship at a young age by parlaying his paper route and lawn mowing money into a fireworks “dealership” that was highly profitable yet ultimately shut down by his father. He enjoys rugby (just watching these days), golfing, skiing, fly fishing, and other outdoor activities with his family, as well as contemporary fiction.
Tim received his M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and graduated with a B.A. in Classical Archaeology from Dartmouth College. |

If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life (without health consequences) what would it be?
That’s simple. Cheese fries. While steak, lobster and sushi are close seconds, there is something about fresh cut fries with some dunking cheese that does me in.
Fill in the blank: I’m really good at:
Falling asleep. I can be out in seconds and sleep through pretty much anything. A pretty convenient ability with young kids… (for me at least, but don’t ask my wife). |

Many business owners start their own business because they are good at what they do. This does not equip you for being a great leader, manager, marketer and business owner. The solution is to get a great education in business mastery so that you can create a commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you. I meet business owners who are successful yet are not enjoying their work. Some feel stressed due to cashflow challenges. Others are fed up having to constantly race against the clock. Many feel frustrated that they do not get the same results from their team compared to when they do the work themselves. Perhaps this resonates with you and your business seems more like an uphill battle than the fun and freedom you originally expected it to be.
If you are a business owner of a privately owned company with a team, I personally GUARANTEE that you will benefit from attending my seminar and arranging a 1:1 session to discover more about how an integral coaching approach for you and your business can close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.
You will discover easy to apply strategies to optimise the opportunities in your business and overcome any challenges which you are currently facing.
You wlll joining a group of like-minded successful business owners for the 2-hour Business Booster then schedule a 1:1 individual complimentary business strategy session to focus on a particular opportunity or challenge which you are currently facing in your business.
Visit the Linkedin business page for more information about the ActionCOACH 6 Steps Business Booster workshop which includes Business Mastery and how to make your marketing an investment and systemization for consistency and leverage.

What is your favorite part about working with portfolio companies/entrepreneurs?
Seeing the pride and excitement the founding teams have when their creations turn into thriving companies.
How do you view your role with portfolio companies?
To be a true partner to them, transparent, honest, thoughtful. I’m always thinking about how we can be even better.
How did you get your first job in venture?
I had never considered venture, which was much less known earlier in my career. But, the phone rang twice. First, from a good friend, who said I was going to receive a call about a big career change and I should take it. Second, the call that I took, which opened my eyes to the opportunities and possibilities of venture. I’ve never looked back! |

I’m an operations guy with serial successes with startups, transitional companies and turnaround situations.
Whether I’m a consultant, COO, CEO, investor advisor or mentor, my aim is to grow revenue and margins.
■ In my early years, I worked with the CEO and VP of Development of Computerland to create a franchise strategy that added $1.8B in sales in eighteen months.
■ My partner and I turned around a money-burning software startup, selling it and getting the investors a 4X return on their investment in just four months.
■ I’ve built technology companies from scratch, and stepped in to sort out sticky situations that might have been taken a company down.
■ I’ve been on all sides of mergers and acquisitions, from preparing companies for sale, acquiring companies and as an angel investor.
■ Over the years, I’ve mentored more than 200 startups about technology, corporate marketing, sales, operations, organizational development, risk mitigation, productivity and strategy… always keeping that aim of growing revenues and margins in view.
■ Because of my expertise on the business of healthcare, I was invited to conduct multiple congressional briefings on healthcare reform in Congress, meeting with more than 100 congressional representatives. I’ve been a guest on HuffPost Live to talk about health care issues, and am a frequent keynote speaker on the topic for many groups and events.
My interests and knowledge encompass many areas of technology, innovative business expansion approaches and cutting-edge startup concepts, so feel free to reach out and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Tom Purcell is the Chief Financial Officer of 5x5 Telecom.
His telecom background spans three decades and ranges from working for internet service providers EarthLink & WebTV, to helping develop the T-Mobile Sidekick, the first US smartphone to deploy the current app ecosystem model popularized by the iPhone.
His love for all things telecom started with a cost-cutting project to find efficiencies for Pacific Bell in its Network Operations division and spent time in Central Offices - where saw his first magical copper wires as they snaked in from the street in massive bundles and spread out onto the giant “frames” in the Central Office. Following that early schooling in copper, Tom beamed into space where he helped evaluate an early satellite television business. Then, he helped raise the first $10M for Danger Research where he ideated one of the first wireless smartphones.
Stints at EarthLink, SK/EarthLink and 3jam followed, where he deepened and broadened his understanding across Internet Service Provider, wireless and mobile businesses. Before 5x5, Tom attended Harvard for business school, helped raise early funding for a premier anti-cancer & de-aging biotech and also launched his own biotech special purpose vehicle, which he still manages.
Tom has experienced success, challenges and outright failure across both large and small companies and uses his breadth of experience to help guide 5x5 as it works to change commercial internet services. During his career, Tom has raised over $100M in capital and as CFO ensures that 5x5 can stay focused on customers, product, execution and growth.
Tom is an avid father, racer of windsurfers, basketball gym rat and microbiome geek. |

I've worked a lot of jobs not listed on my resume including short stints as a baseball umpire, basketball camp counselor, pharmacy stock person, high school sports reporter, book bindery glue machine operator, janitor, college newspaper ad salesman & yogurt merchandiser to name a few. It's been an exciting journey so far! |

Ever since I got laid off from my first real job as an engineer at Chrysler Corp, my goal has been to build a portfolio of a variety of investments that would allow me to have fun, help people with their dreams and make enough money to support that type of livelihood independently and indefinitely. Thirty years later, it has worked out better than I could have imagined...or believed possible when I was 23.
I made my first angel investment in November of 1991 while I was working my day job.
After years of failures and successes, studying what's worked and being continuously amazed by what can happen when you keep an open mind, I coach, connect and invest in founders before their success is evident to most other investors.
I've made over 50 investments across a variety of industries; consumer products, financial services, social media, business services, retail, real estate and AI. You can see what we're invested in right now in the Portfolio section of the website.
I view my role as being the early investor who helps launch companies so that experts in a specific field can take over, either acquirers or VCs. My job is simple; provide relevant perspectives from experiences in a variety of industries to help folks make better decisions, particularly when navigating new or unfamiliar terrain. I shorten learning curves and help people avoid avoidable mistakes.
The bulk of my working career was spent in the financial industry in a variety of roles; portfolio manager, institutional marketing, sales, management. TL;DNR details are on my LinkedIn profile.
In the nonprofit world, I served as BNY Mellon’s Trustee Representative and Senior Investment Advisor to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation Trust as one of four Trustees on this $9B entity. I was an Executive Member of the Disciplinary Review Committee of the CFA Institute from 2006 - 2012, President of the Association of Investment Management Sales Executives in 2012 and Board Member of the National Association of Securities Professionals. Other board experiences include the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago, Chair – Chicago Training Alliance and Chair – Finance Committee of Chicago Abused Women and their Children. I currently serve on the board of AnitaB.org as Vice Chair of Compensation and Chair of the Audit Committee.
My finance career began after six years in the military electronics industry working for AT&T and as a firmware engineering manager at Atlanta-based, Lockheed Loral. My first real job was at Chrysler Corporation in Detroit after driving tow trucks and pumping gas throughout high school.
I am a CFA Charterholder, received my BSEE from Northwestern University and his MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. |

I am a construction & technology leader with over 30 years of experience gained from at small startups to large-scale global organizations, all of which started after becoming a court clerk through my high-school business program, followed by service in the U.S. Army where I was trained to be a soldier & unit operations leader.
After 5 years of military service, I completed college & converted my military gained leadership, technical & organizational abilities to the civilian world where I gravitated to technology related leadership positions. Attention to details became my "middle names" as I continued to learn and help organizations transform themselves from manual to automated to digitized to intelligent machine learn based success stories.
However, in my "off-time", I discovered a passion for construction starting around 1995. Since then, I've managed data center construction related projects & operations, home flips, rental properties and most recently completed all requirements to receive my statewide Florida General Contractor license.

4) Business development, operations and financial team management (up to COO level responsibilities)
5) Technology research and development team management (3 to 1,200 team members)

My life's journey has been contrarian from its outset. I was born into a family of lawyers and was expected to continue the tradition in India; I decided to do engineering and move to the US. After school, I switched fields entirely from chemical engineering to electronics. I only got my first job after sending over 200 job applications, and reading the first few chapters of an introductory electronics book on the cross-country plane ride to my interview.
By choosing the path less travelled, I've had the privilege of leading technology development, operations and business units at companies like Maxim, from early start-up days to a company with a $10B market cap, and Fairchild, the founding company of the Silicon Valley. I've led operations, business units and entire companies at every stage of a company's life cycle.
Through it all, my first loves have remained the same: new technology, new products and growing things from zero to one. The transition to investing in early stage companies has been natural - nothing short of a perfect fit. |

VP of Innovation at Western Growers focused on accelerating commercialization and helping AgTech startups scale in a couple of key ag challenge areas:
1) Harvest automation - we need to help existing harvest startups scale faster and develop a new framework to help the next generation of harvest startups build faster.
2) Food safety - we need to help existing food safety startups that can solve problems like e.coli and listeria (not just identify them) scale faster.
3) Grower Trials - we need to help scale field trials so startups and growers can get real world on-farm data more often that is reliable and helps validate (or not) the solutions.
My background is a mix of Ag and Tech. For over 25 years, I've been (1) a Partner at San Bernardo Rancho, a 10,000 acre family ranch in Monterey County which operates cattle, row crops, and vineyards and (2) an operator building programs and strategies at high-growth Silicon Valley startups, including eBay, MerchantCircle (acquired by Reply), and APTARE (acquired by Veritas).

I founded Distilled in 2005 along with Duncan Morris. We started the SearchLove conference series in 2009, expanded both the SEO consulting business and the conference series to the US, and ended up with offices in Seattle and New York, and running conferences in San Diego, New York, and London.
We built a platform for SEO A/B testing and agile changes to large websites which we spun out as an independent business called SearchPilot in February 2020 at the same time as the remainder of the Distilled business (along with SearchLove) was acquired by Brainlabs.
These days, I spend the majority of my time running SearchPilot, alongside guiding Brainlabs' SEO practice.

Hello and welcome to my site. I'm Will Mentesh, an entrepreneur, life long learner, tech enthusiast, investor, and founder of various companies ranging from Wine and Spirits to Health Care Technologies. I've experienced working in both startups and big corporations alike. I believe that with hard work, dedication, and persistence, anyone can make their dreams come true. My biggest pet peeve is from those who always say "that's a tough business to be in...'widgets' are a very competitive market...there are too many players in that segment..." you get my drift. Unless you are one of the few to develop a discontinuous innovation, embrace the competition, learn from them, and then kick their ass in the market place!
I'm always up for a good chat. Feel free to email me, follow me on twitter, or add me on linkedin.
Cheers,
Will Mentesh |

After 10 years in investment banking and corporate development I was feeling beat down with huge bureaucracies and the pressure to bill more hours. I wanted to help founders get their businesses off the ground and experience explosive growth.
I took the models I spent years tailoring to SaaS and built a platform for startups.
Now, at KPI Sense, I’m on a mission to bring previously inaccessible strategic finance support to startups and give finance folks the opportunity to work in a startup environment. We’ve helped 80+ founders increase retention, grow strategically, and raise capital and we’re not stopping anytime soon. |

I started angel investing after a decade long career as a software engineer at Facebook and Yahoo! I joined Facebook in 2006 as one of the first 150 employees, co-created Facebook Ads and helped grow the ad revenue from scratch to a multi-billion dollar business. After Facebook, I worked in a 5-person startup and then proceeded to create my own startup, which was not successful but was fortunately acquired without incurring any investment loss. Since 2012, I have invested in 150+ startups which consist of 50+ direct investments and 100+ SPV investments through AngelList, FundersClub, Microventures, TheSyndicate.com, etc. From these investments and my own experience as a startup founder, I could see a pattern of what in general works.
I have some natural anti-establishment tendencies so I love to see people work hard to challenge the status quo, build better/cheaper products and create innovative new experiences for customers. It all sounds awesome but people must acknowledge the day to day grind of startup life is grueling and unglamourous. Most first-time founders told me for the first couple of years, they often have self-doubts on if they are making the sound life decisions of starting their own companies (instead of working in a more stable corporate job). Startup founders really have to make their team execute at a very high level every day for years before achieving overnight success. But the worst part is that most founders and their team could work very hard for years and their startups still fail in the end. I would like to support founders who are determined to make it work despite all the risks and challenges. |

I build growth engines that deliver across all time horizons. Vision, strategy, culture, team, processes, tech + data stacks are the key components.
I got lucky and did this at Grammarly for 9 years. It was a wild ride as we went from 10 to 450 ppl, hit 30m daily actives, grew profitably, raised $200m, and became a household name. I led a team of 40 towards the end of my time there.
Since then, I've been taking a break from the rhythm of a start-up operator, while helping some incredible companies and teams unlock their growth potential. I've had the unique honor to partner with Canva, Airtable, Otter.ai, Hims & Hers, Krisp, Jumbo, Varo Bank, and others. |

I enjoy discussing & brainstorming ideas so if you ever want to use me as a sounding board about an idea I would love to hear what current entrepreneurs are working on...

What was your first paying job?
Selling solar panels door to door in high school. Nothing like getting chased by dogs, yelled at by annoyed home-bodies, and invited in for snacks and drinks by total strangers.
What was it like growing up?
My mom raised me and my sister. She was a graduate student working on a Master’s in CS at Cal Berkeley, where she then did a PhD in Feminist Studies. She instilled in me an insatiable curiosity, love of learning, and desire to fight for social justice and the underdog. |
