My areas of expertise are Education Technology, Space Technology, Ocean Technology, and Robotics. I'm not excited by the latest flashy Internet opportunities. I seek value in terms of solid, consistent net earnings potential within a short time; i.e. 2-3 yrs. I also like mezzanine stage opportunities with a quick and clear path to liquidity. When I spot actionable opportunities, I conduct deep due diligence. Syndication provides us all with better deal access and negotiating strength. If this investment thesis interests you, please join my syndicate. Background: I was an early Microsoft employee (86 - '88) who went on to found and successfully exit a prominent software company called ConnectSoft in the 1990s. I've been active in regional and industry-specific angel networks and venture incubation. Please see my LinkedIn bio.

I am likely to syndicate the majority of deals in which I personally invest. note: Some of my deal exploration is outside the US (I spend at least half of each year in India, Thailand, Hong Kong, and UK/Europe). Of course, I realize that the foreign deals may not be of interest to everyone. Those investments will be syndicated only on an as-interested basis.
