Check out my new book, The Startup Playbook. A go-to guide for first-time entrepreneurs. Learn moreat https://startup-playbook.com.In my current life, I'm an active angel investor with over 80 investments, a corporate director, an author and a startup mentor. I was previously a serial entrepreneur, having started 5 companies - mostly successes, but a couple of miserable failures. I live and work mostly in the Boston area.I sold my last company, Innoveda (NASDAQ:INOV), a supplier of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software tools to Mentor Graphics in 2002. Innoveda was created when Viewlogic, my previous company, did a reverse acquisition of Summit Design, a public company. I co-founded Viewlogic (NASDAQ:VIEW) in 1984 and left the company in 1992, a year after the company's IPO. I then rejoined the company in 1995 initally as President, then as CEO. Viewlogic Systems was acquired by Synopsys in 1997. One year later, most of the assets acquired by Synopsys were re-purchased by a small team I led via an MBO re-forming Viewlogic as a new private company. Confused yet?During my hiatus from Viewlogic, I was first the President of Scopus Technology, a startup supplier of software automation tools in the customer information systems marketplace. I later helped create Silerity, a developer of high-performance electronics design tools where I was President and CEO. Silerity was purchased by Viewlogic in 1995, thus completing my great career circle of life.I am currently a director at JumpCloud and Pointillist. I'm also a mentor at TechStars, a fund advisor at Bolt and actively advise about a half dozen individual startups. Previously, I served as a director of several other public and private companies including, Standing Cloud, Stillsecure, Template Graphics Software, Hall Kinion, Rebar, Lexra, Quintus, Carbon Design, MobileDay, Viewlogic Systems, Innoveda, Silerity, ChannelWave, AccuRev, Bionaut Pharmaceuticals and Zipix.
