I am a hi-tech generalist with experience in government funding for technology companies, business plan review, ip strategy development, and team management. Most of my work has been in the software industry, but I have also worked on electronic hardware, biomedical devices, and optical systems.
My main focus is on helping early stage technology companies raise money from government and private equity sources. I do this by working closely with my clients to develop their business strategies and produce the documents necessary to qualify for government funding and to make them "investor ready".
