My friends call me a "fixer" - I can get anything done (Olivia Pope!) From starting technology companies (raised millions of $ in equity financing over multiple rounds & multiple companies); to rehabbing foreclosed property - always starting on my own, and growing the team. I've dealt with extremely well heeled folks like Vinod Khosla & Mike Moritz (my respective champions who took me to the KPCB & Sequoia Partnership Monday Mornings) to blue-collar workers. I also have numerous very compelling patents in the Internet/Web arena of Search, Social Networks, Widgets, Highlighting, Curation etc.I roll up my sleeves and immerse myself: build products, license software, write code, Photoshop, develop icons, collateral, video, hire developers/execs, press releases, build partnerships, sign-up customers, file patents pro-se, prosecute them, monetize them.. Host radio shows, appear on tv, media...I rode a century on my bicycle, ran in the SF marathon. Have traveled to about 60 countries (for fun), dabbled with stand up comedy, been written up in NY Times, Business Week etc. Have written articles with circulation in the hundreds of millions, been on TV alongside stalwarts like Narayan Murthy & Sunil Mittal; been called out in the the press by technology leaders like Azim Premji......and I haven't had a big exit - yet :)
