a little about me
I have been working with startups for over 15 years. I have gone through mergers, acquisitions and an IPO, plus couple of failures. Since 2011, I've been working with one startup in the social media space, Roll Random. Initially I was an advisor, and now I am engaged both as an advisor and mentor. When I started working with them, they were two founders, developing the product offshore. After a number of misses, I worked with them through the process of bringing development in-house, hiring a CTO, and re-platforming the product to allow for scalability, performance and flexibility.
