No Longer A Whippersnapper

My 20+ year stretch as a technologist began in the green phosphor era of minicomputers.  You may not even believe what I’ve seen done within 2K of RAM.

Today, I acquire/invest in early stage disruptive software and software services (SaaS) startups as a founding Ingk Labs partner.

I founded Ingk Labs spinoff InstantService (now Oracle), where Internet customer service was invented before IBM coined “eCommerce.” — yadayada here

Interests

I have my eyes on new models in the social stack, patent law/strategy, corporate/social responsibility, philanthropy, education, mobile devices, massively parallel computing, machine intelligence, web services/api, cashless commerce, telemedicine/genetics, and the sweet spots where this-and-that conjoin.

Mentors

Ric Weiland, Dr. George Kozmetsky, Ray Smelek, J.R. (Jack) Simplot
