Startups


A ship is safe in the harbor.  
​But that is not what ships are built for.

John A Shedd
At StartmeupHK 2016, Elon Musk told the story that his friend described entrepreneurialism as "eating glass and staring at the abyss."  Been there.

As an entrepreneur, I've experienced failure.  I've also experienced success.  As an investor, I enjoy working with founders who know this too. They persist in the face of adversity.  They display immense humility in overcoming it.  They lead motivated teams.

​Grit, humility and humanity.  For me, a magical mix.  It inspires.  It works.
