Created 11 years ago in Funding
I have invested more than $400M in early stage companies and technology, reviewed 1000's of investments, and been part of several successful start up teams. Its an easy process to screw up. I can tell you what the VCs are saying once you leave the room.

Adviser, executive and investor in numerous early stage companies. Experienced in wide range of technologies and start-ups. Good at dealing with difficult situations and avoiding them. Through my career I have invested about $600m in early stage technology/ research, acquired several start ups, and successfully sold several companies. I also have had some solid failures which probably taught me more than the successes.

Source: Clarity Chris Williams Mar 17, 2014I met Carter many years ago when I first started Blueforce. My first impression was that this guy had the Defense sector nailed. He totally understood the market, but more importantly, where it was going and who the key players were. And then my team entered into a business agreement and the entire picture emerged. Carter is pragmatic, understand markets and where they are going, and has a unique understanding of technology evolution. As well, he brings solutions whenever he suggests an area for improvement. Carter's wisdom, without question, contributed to the strategic value of my company.

Carter has added value to my company, Concentric Power, as an angel investor and advisory board member. He understands very well the real world for small start ups navigating the giant energy industry. He also seems to know everybody in all the areas that matter to us.

He is unique in his tremendous breadth and depth of both technical and business knowledge. He is an innovative thinker and never sees things as a zero sum game. He has the ability to see opportunities others miss, and the drive to develop and execute strategies to capitalize on them. Most importantly, his character and integrity are of the highest level so you can be confident in your dealings with him. I highly recommend Carter Williams!
