<P><SPAN><SPAN>I help startups with strategy, finance, BD, and venture / exit issues. I've been described as wingman to startup CEOs and as Biz Dev / CFO to go. I like pitching deals, solving problems and getting things done. I'm now productizing this work in a new startup called Foundersuite.</SPAN><BR><SPAN>I mainly work with early stage Internet, B2B software, mobile, and consumer product startups, and I have a strong interest in platforms, markets, and networks. I've worked with several cool crowdfunding companies, such as Kickstarter and Appbackr.</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Other notable clients include Clicker, Zerply, LaunchRock and Autonet Mobile. I'm currently on the Advisory Boards of five startups, where I help shape strategy and make intros to investors, partners, and acquirers.</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Earlier in my career, I started two companies, an early web catalog provider and a clinical trial software company. I also worked in finance and investment banking, and was involved in three technology IPOs and nearly 40 acquisitions.</SPAN><BR><SPAN>I put together various startup events; my current projects are FundingV2.com, StartupBD.com and StartupExits.com. I also teach classes at General Assembly on raising capital. Previously, with Pivotal Labs, I produced the ProjectStartup series.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
