Portland, OR24y exp

“Experienced software builder and former founder who ran his own startup for 15 years in the late 1990s, focused on bleeding-edge online ticketing technology. Brings a mix of hands-on software delivery, team building, and startup leadership, though he is currently seeking a well-backed opportunity with strong cash compensation rather than entrepreneurship at all costs.”

“Senior public sector sales executive with a strong track record selling SaaS licensing and permitting solutions to state and local governments. Most notably grew Accela from $25M to $100M in four years with 90%+ retention and personally led a complex $10M statewide Oregon deal featuring a custom multi-jurisdiction pricing model. Brings deep expertise in government procurement, RFP influence, forecasting discipline, and building high-performing regional sales teams.”

“Repeat startup co-founder with multiple successful exits and significant fundraising experience (most recent raise $6M USD; prior raise £10M GBP). Interested in roles bridging investors and startups—performing due diligence and evaluating MVPs/USPs to help firms invest in the right companies and support portfolio growth toward exit.”

“Founder of Optibuy, a newly launched advisory firm focused on energy and manufacturing, combining AI, risk management, operational excellence, and digital transformation to solve longstanding industry problems. The candidate is pursuing an E&P studio model to incubate client solutions and has a targeted fundraising strategy aimed at O&G corporate VC arms, energy-focused VCs, and experienced industry angels.”

“Operations/Continuous Improvement leader with 25 years of Lean/Kaizen experience, including roles at Danaher and 10x Genomics. Known for building enterprise operating rhythms (True North + daily management) and developing internal CI certification programs, while delivering measurable quality and cycle-time gains (e.g., NCR/MRB lead time cut 47→14 days and FPY improvements via global test-equipment relocation).”

“Hardware operations and supply chain leader in a startup environment with strong exposure to fundraising dynamics, board-level reporting, and the financial impact of manufacturing and inventory decisions. Has spent several years in Silicon Valley managing teams at scale and brings a rare blend of operational depth, strategic awareness, and entrepreneurial ambition.”

“Senior software engineering leader with 20+ years of management exposure who has alternated between IC and director-level roles, leading teams of up to 25 across AI platform, analytics, Salesforce, and systems software projects. Particularly compelling for roles needing both technical depth and organizational leadership: they have architected systems themselves, built teams in new geographies, and coordinated platform, AI/data, and consumer engineering groups to deliver successful turnkey AI solutions.”
