Summary
Hello! My name is Adam, and some people call me Panda. 🐼 I have co-founded 3 early stage venture capital funded startups (KnowNow, Renkoo, PandaWhale) that collectively served tens of millions of people. I organize one of the biggest meetups in Silicon Valley for technical entrepreneurs called 106 Miles. I was featured in Wharton Professor Adam Grant's book "Give and Take": http://adamgrant.net/ I want to improve the world, and I want to smell good while doing it. I spend 99% of my waking time right now on a new innovative business model for PandaWhale. Btw I grew up in New York. Educated at William & Mary in Virginia, and Caltech in Pasadena, CA. Specialties: Innovation. Distribution. Evolution. Adaptation. Synthesis. I feel like these index cards from Jessica Hagy represent me:
