Life in the startup lane.

I've worked in Web-based collaboration, social software and new media since 1996, when I was a founder of the first venture-funded social software company, ScreenPorch. Later, I started Mighty Acorn and Suplion and was the President of an online sports equipment company. I provide strategic assistance to startups and due diligence for venture firms. Recently, I helped launch Seedwiki and Connectbeam.
