Call me to talk about

Startup Fundraising

An experienced fundraiser who has raised over $650 million in public and private equity, including $200 million+ in early stage venture capital raised from well-known venture firms and strategic/corporate investors.

Former CEO of two public Internet companies including Stamps.com (NASDAQ: STMP), founder of two successful FinTech startups, turnaround CEO for 4 more.

Talk about strategies, what's holding you back, whether your baby's ugly and how to accelerate your fundraising process.

Patents From the Startup POV (Not by a Lawyer.)

CEO of 4 startups that successfully developed portfolios of issued patents in targeted patent prosecution campaigns. Inventor with 20+ issued patents in mobile, smartphone, messaging, cybersecurity, digital mail and social search. Litigation experience (plaintiff and defense) vs. some of the biggest tech and predatory, monopolistic dinosaur companies in the world. (Once was sued for patent infringement by a giant monopolistic competitor on the Friday before we took a company public.)

Talk about whether to file patents, what does "patent lawyer" really mean and how to hire one, risks and opportunities of patent litigation, the value of a startup patent portfolio and how investors think about patents. Getting a patent to issue vs getting a "good" patent to issue and why many patent prosecution lawyers don't care.

Revenue and Business Model Strategy

As CEO I have developed effective and scaleable revenue and overall business models for many early and growth stage technology companies, resulting in one IPO, one turnaround of a public company, 5+ startups or turnarounds sold to large public and private acquirers.
