Summary
Management consultant with 35 years of experience in entrepreneurship, corporate strategy, general management, software engineering, finance, sales, advertising, marketing, and other areas. Since early 2001, I have focused on preparing business plans, financial forecasts, and investor presentations for high-tech companies in the life science, Internet, software, green energy, and related industries. I have grown my consulting practice to include roughly thirty specialists. This allows us to serve your needs in every industry. What makes us different? In a world where perhaps fewer than 1 in 100 business plans ever achieve their goals (funding, company sale, etc.), we are proud to say that over two-thirds of our clients have done so. Specialties: I help high-tech companies prepare to raise capital by developing VC-grade business plans, financial projections, and investor presentations.
