I represent emerging technology companies at all stages, and those that invest in or buy them at any stage. I am a counselor and advocate for entrepreneurs. I like to work with Founders from the very start and help them achieve their goals by providing practical, business-oriented advice. I have worked with hundreds of start-ups and later stage companies and, as a result, I know and often help set market terms for their transactions. Because I live this space, I can often provide introductions to capital, strategic partners and potential colleagues.I am a trusted advisor for investors. As an angel investor and former entrepreneur myself, I have spent most of my life working in or around tech and have successfully handled a wide variety of transactions ranging from the simple Angel or Series Preferred investment to the most complicated M&A exits; from Founder breakups to PE buyouts and Board of Director counseling; from everyday employee issues to highly strategic litigation advice. Public companies and large funds rely on me for their M&A transactions (as do exiting Founders selling to them). I help clients analyze risk, but never try to influence their decisions with theoretical, unrealistic advice.I am a passionate contributor to the tech ecosystem (or techosystem) here in NYC. From First Growth (advisor), AngelVine (advisor), WomenInnovateMobile (founding partner), Northside Festival's NExT Startup Center (co-creator and sponsor), Brooklyn Technology and Education Consortium (member), Columbia Business School’s Entreprenuerial Greenhouse Program (lecturer), VC's on Skis (creator), WhiskeyTech (creator), Texas Fund ‘Em (creator), WomenInWireless, Women 2.0, if it helps create community, I'm there.I am always accessible, I try never to treat the client I don't have better than the one that I do, and I am passionate about a ton of things: my family; travel; the latest awesome restaurant; the NY Giants, skiing; the NYC techosystem … and your company.
