Startups and Angel Investing

Views from both sides

I spend a fair amount of time investing in, and advising, startups and small companies. I am particularly focused on B2B, with interests in Tech, Industrial, and more. The body of thinking here is based on that experience. It's my opinion only. Always remember, free advice is worth what you paid for it!

Startup Thoughts

  • Pitching and the 3 Cases

    Learn how investors think about your business and pitch better. Read more to understand how.

  • Product Management

    To me, Product Management is a very broad term, and something I have experience in. Here’s what I think.

  • Pitch Forward

    You past achievements are a necessary but insufficient requirement for a successful pitch. Rather than focusing on the past, you need to pitch forward!

  • VC and PE Models

    Venture Capital is not the only model to think about investments. Private Equity has a different perspective… and better returns on lower risk. Think different!
