    What I'm Looking For

    People. Investments. Investors. I invest in startups with great teams, but I can't shake the entrepreneur bug so I am running my own company and therefore also looking for investors that can add value.

    Q&A
    What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

    Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. But I suggest starting with Zero to One, it's an easier read.
