Founder and General Partner
Please note that I don't accept connections to profiles that I have not met in the real world. I have been a technology investor in Silicon Valley for several decades, through several technology and economic cycles. I started investing in semiconductors, but along the way, I've made investments in consumer electronics, fintech, cloud services, digital photography, IoT, autism employment and many other startup opportunities. I have been lucky to work with many talented entrepreneurs who put their hearts and souls into realizing their vision for the future, while creating thriving businesses at companies like Intacct, Bill.com, BigFix, HireRight, WebTV, Lexar Media, Microchip Technologies and many others. I also teach venture capital finance at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. Each year, I work with the brightest MBA and MSx students on our planet who are founding and funding the next generation of unicorns.
