My apologies - LinkedIn has capped my connections at 30K. I'd still love to connect with you, so please follow and message me. And please tell LinkedIn they should let me have more friends. Having extensive experience from startup to explosive growth to exit multiple times, and having sold a private company to a public company (while being CEO), I am a serial entrepreneur and investor. And I love to collaborate on the company-building process (as I've had every job in a company). As the Founder and President of Operate, the team and I look for entrepreneurs with grit who are building innovative companies. In all of our portfolio companies, we invest our own capital and our team's capabilities as hands-on senior executives to build amazing companies together. This unique approach delivers more predictable investment returns and creates more winners for our investment partners. As Managing Director of BankTech Ventures, we look to partner with entrepreneurs who want to help transform the future of community banking by working with community banks to make them more efficient, competitive and compelling for the customers in the communities that they serve. And with over 100 banks as investors in our fund, we know that they are excited to meet you!
