Yesterday, I wrote about my day exploring entrepreneurship in Fairbanks, Alaska.  Today, while reading MIT’s Technology Review (the paper copy – in the bathroom – where all paper magazines should be read) I came across a very timely article titled The Entrepreneurship Ecosystem. One of my recommendations to the folks in Fairbanks was to rally […]

Heidi Roizen – one of my partners at Mobius Venture Capital and my close friend – just did her first podcast titled Heidi Roizen on Venture Capital: Silicon Valley is Back.  Heidi never disappoints – enjoy!

I’ve been working with Robin Bordoli at Mobius Venture Capital for several years and have enjoyed watching him be tortured by the version of english that we speak in America.

I’ve been working on making it easy for foreign entrepreneurs to get a visa to start a company in the US since September 2009 when I […]

After writing Do More Faster with David Cohen, I have deep appreciation for the effort involved in writing a book. After reading a bunch of entrepreneurship books, I’ve decided there are three categories: (a) autobiographies, (b) consultant roadmaps, and (c) practitioner stories.
