About

I'm 67 and running a successful tech startup-you can too!

I've been fortunate in my business career to learn from a lot of very talented and smart people.  I worked in Fortune 500 companies,  world class small firms,  and a number of different startup firms.  During my Ph.D. (at age 56)  I got to spend 3.5 years reading every book and peer reviewed article I could find on entrepreneurship and accelerating innovation. After completely my Ph.D.,  I began teaching.   I created several new courses on entrepreneurship and environmental science.   After starting up a new company in my 60's I realized that many of my peers could do the same but they probably did not have the benefit of all the different stuff that I had done.  So I created this website  and blog to help others in my age achieve their dream of starting up their own firm.

​

This blog pulls together key concepts, both practical and academic,  to explain how to use the many tools available for start a new firm.  For academic concepts,  I will introduce the concept then explain why its important.  Where I make my own claims,  I'll let you know.  Where possible,  I'll provide links to key books, papers, website, and data that provide more in-depth reading.

​

Good luck in your next venture and I hope this blog will help you out in some way.   Gotta a tough question?  Send it in and I'll try to come up with an answer?
