Lifelong technologist, entrepreneur and philosopher. Investor too. Regarding startups, two of my core beliefs are: 1) Most good ideas are not also good businesses. It is job ONE of an early entrepreneur to figure out if their good idea might also be a good business. The most-reliable path to this objective is identifying, quantifying and verifying all of the assumptions that founders make (or don't make but should). Based on those validated assumptions, if an entrepreneur cannot tell a cogent story about how how their idea can grow to become a good business... then don't quit your job. 2) It takes a village to raise a startup. To that end, I am active in the startup community as an advisor, mentor and organizer. I founded Startup Haven in 2006 as a means of connecting venture-scale startup founders with the help they need. Specialties: startup anatomist, business model aficionado, technology maven, paladin-class software engineer, philosopher (no, really)
