About

Lifelong entrepreneur and early Pixar employee who has spent decades in the Bay Area, New York, and Europe building companies and operating in venture ecosystems. He has raised $20M via ICO, raised £3M for a London venture studio, and brings a strong point of view on AI: product creation is commoditizing, so durable startups need a distribution edge.
