A young man once summed up my work this way: "You're an entrepreneur's helper!". He hit the nail on the head. You bring the business or business idea and I'll bring the experience and energy to drive it smoothly and successfully. I can get you ready for funding including seed funding, venture capital and private and public equity. I can identify and navigate you through deals such as mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, licenses and strategic alliances. I can also help you to take a new business idea from concept to reality. I started my career as an equity portfolio manager on Wall Street, then went "in house" with two public companies where I managed investor relations, executed many strategic deals, raised capital and launched new businesses. Over the last five years I was involved in academia, launching 19 research startups that raised more than $40 million in third party equity investment. How can I help you to grow your business today?
