I've had a hand in 19 startups (as an investor or Board Member) that were able to become publicly listed companies. Served on the Board on 7 of them at the time of listing. Have direct experience founding, funding and running several companies including one as Founder Chairman and CEO that built Data Center infrastructure in 11 countries and was able to do it's IPO in 2000.
Became a sponsored athlete in Kiteboarding in 2008 :-). Have run a 5:15 mile, and did a perfect 800 on GRE (Chemistry) way back when...
Describe the most impressive thing you've done.Great founders, disruptive thinkers, fun people.
Also enjoy meeting people with the 'attitude' to kiteboard (not required, but typically people who kite are thrill seeking risk takers so i enjoy meeting.)
Describe what you're looking for in a company.
