For 25 years now, I have worked hard to keep Austin and greater Texas a highly sought after corporate and socially conscious business community. I have enjoyed helping entrepreneurs realize their technology or business aspirations through venture fund raising, M&A, intellectual property commercialization, and technology platform development. I've accomplished this through either a direct investment, mentorship, or through philanthropic endeavors. Sometimes that entrepreneur has been me.I've founded or funded numerous companies and non-profits and advised or mentored on dozens more. In my most recent entrepreneurial move, I Co-Founded and sourced institutional investor funding for Techson IP here in Austin. Just prior to Techson, I sold my company, idealAsset, to a patent monetization firm.(picture: atop Emory Peak [elev. 7,825], Big Bend National Park, Texas - June 2017, mid-morning)
