As an entrepreneur, investor, and product developer, nothing is more important than identifying new markets, products, opportunities, and technology trends.The desire to be at the forefront of emerging technology has positioned me to combine the worlds of investment analysis and entrepreneurial ventures to transform embryonic ideas into thriving businesses. This, and my passion for emerging technology, notably augmented reality (AR), drive me to review and search for high-growth potential startups.Beyond that, my hands-on experience as a product developer and project manager has granted me a unique lens through which I view investments – focusing not only on financials but also on the underlying innovation and market feasibility. With extensive experience in due diligence, market research, and financial modeling and an ability to build relationships with industry partners, I have improved investor engagement throughout my career.My entrepreneurial journey with Future Optek exemplifies my commitment to innovation, having patented transformative AR technologies, led R&D initiatives, and connected with industry players and investors. The ability to quickly identify, react, and adapt to shifting market trends, and emerging technology has been crucial to my experience as both an entrepreneur, and investor. Apart from my innovations at Future Optek, this ability has led me to invent a popular accessory for the Juul device, and notably develop a Bitcoin mining business in 2013 creating an investment vehicle for other early adopters. I have learned project management, due diligence, product development, R&D, and more in my career. Each has marked a journey of strategic pivots, thorough analyses, and an uncanny ability to identify companies harnessing the transformative power of technology.
