Summary
Accelerating tech at its very foundation — by putting a diamond behind every chip. On the way to it also reforming the jewelry industry with sustainably create diamond. Built startups in several completely different industries: the #1 group messaging service in 2000 (Sequoia Capital); the #1 valued U.S. solar power tech startup (Benchmark Capital); and now the #1 producer of single-crystal diamond wafers. In line with my being early to big trends, I joined LinkedIn as member #124 but then did not use it until two billion others joined!
