I enjoy helping smart technical founders commercialize their vision through advisory, networking and angel investment support. Over the years, I've seen many great products die and countless exceptional teams struggle with fatigue, frustration and failure. For that reason, I've started Evidology Group with Doug Lyons (https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglyons/). Together, we've created an evidence-based methodology to help startups gain traction and build a repeatable sales model.Please visit https://www.evidologygroup.com/ for more information or reach out to me directly.

I am very pleased to be involved with Employ To Empower, a truly transformative nonprofit that helps people who face work and social barriers to cultivate community connections through entrepreneurship and self-advocacy opportunities. Employ to Empower helps low-income entrepreneurs obtain skills, mentors, and micro-loans to launch or expand their micro-business, generate income and build a sense of pride and purpose.

I provide advisory services, assisting New Zealand Trade & Enterprise client companies with market entry, business development and investment guidance as companies look to enter the Canadian market.

I am proud to be an ongoing advisor, mentor and investor. Every day, SeamlessMD is improving patient care and outcomes while lowering healthcare costs. It's tough to navigate the hospital environment, bridging the patient, healthcare professionals and information systems and SeamlessMD continue to do this masterfully. The company's results speak to the strength of management, the product and their execution.

I am excited to be an active advisor, mentor and investor, working with the very strong team at Flash Forest who are world experts in drone reforestation. I continue to be impressed with the people, technology, mission and potential impact on reducing global warming.

Our customers are spending 70% or more of their time hunting and gathering data, and less than 30% of their time analyzing the information for actionable insights. PHEMI is changing that. PHEMI Central is a big data warehouse that breaks down an organization’s data silos. It aggregates disparate data sources faster than a traditional Enterprise Data Warehouse. It easily stores database, files and telemetry at 60% lower cost of ownership. What’s particularly unique about PHEMI Central is the way we manage data sharing agreements, privacy, security and governance of sensitive information. We catalog digital assets to make sure our users can find the data in a fraction of a second and we protect privacy/security/governance of the data to ensure rightful access to information at speed/scale. In short, we address the data lake fallacy raised by Gartner. (http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2809117)
