United States > California

I spent over 25 years in investment banking doing mergers and acquisitions and also complex financing transactions. A few years ago I began buying small companies for my own portfolio and recently set up my own fund to make non-control investments in small companies. I am keenly aware of the issues small business owners deal with when growing their businesses and I would be comfortable in a passive role or one in which I could also serve in an advisory capacity. Because of my background I am very comfortable with developing creative structures. I would be interested in deals with equity, debt or hybrid securities. I have a preference for investing in companies with strong growth potential. These could be start ups with growth concepts or existing companies leveraging a new concept. I would be very interested in helping existing companies with the structuring and financing of business acquisitions. I believe my background would be a value add in any deal

Invested in startups going back to 1994, yahoo, mysimon, bluepumpkin, and currently invest in a few stealth startups. Back-ground consists of making sure that the entrepreneur is prepared to finish the job! I will test the courage of the entrepreneur a lot prior to investing in him or her! If you pass the courage test everything else should be fairly simple. Private investor and also a member of some Angel groups.

I am an experienced patent attorney and intellectual property strategist and have advised companies on growth-oriented intellectual property protection and asset management strategies. My focus and primary areas of investment interest lie broadly in the fields of computing and communications, but more particularly in intelligent adaptive systems used for enhanced human-machine communications. As an investor, my goal is to invest my expertise to grow companies by helping them to execute intellectual property strategies for the protection and licensing of their IP rights thru strategic alliances and joint ventures. I'm actively seeking opportunities to provide $250,000 to $1 million in debt financing to companies for working capital, expansion or acquisition purposes. And for the right companies, I can assist and advise on a suitable exit plan since I work with a private equity firm that seeks to acquire companies that have adopted value-enhancing IP strategies.

I have invested in many companies over the years. Won some and lost on several but it is a numbers game. I look for strong management teams that listen to advisors well and know their marketplace. I also try to bring value to companies I invest in by helping companies identify and utilize leverage, build momentum in their marketplace and position the entities to maximize strategic resource and capital channels within the public markets if / when it makes sense.
