You’re likely to see some common themes appear in this blog that have roots in my educational and professional background. I’ve worked in technology both on the finance side, as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs and a venture capitalist with RRE Ventures, and on the entrepreneurial/startup side, as the Director of Product Marketing at Data Robotics, Inc. and the founder of a handful of ventures and websites dating back to 1996. I grew up on Long Island and then earned my BA from Stanford during the height of the dot com bubble and the nadir of the bust. I’ve spent roughly five of the past ten years in Silicon Valley and five in New York City. I’d like to think I can bring the best of both perspectives to the table.
This means I don’t fit in perfectly with the cultures of either the Valley or NYC. I am rarely if ever impressed with technology for the sake of technology and I shudder at thought of making a living purely off of financial engineering. I like to see companies created, teams built, problems solved and value created. Maybe that’s why I’ve decided to spend the next two years of my life living in the Midwest (attending the Kellogg School of Management).
You can expect blog postings about topics within technology and finance that I have experience in as an operator, investor or consumer including:
