Imagine coming up with a game-changing software id

Imagine coming up with a game-changing software idea and putting in the work to create a business plan. Just as you’re perfecting your MVP, an eerily similar software program hits the market. All of that time, work, and money toward a fresh, innovative, and first-of-its-kind software program are now funneled toward beating out the competition.

Similar ideas can naturally occur, or they can result from a lack of protection of your own idea. I’ve seen it happen too many times. Don’t let that be you. Keep your intellectual property safe with proper legal protections - learn more at the link in my bio.

After running several companies and investing in more than 120 over 20 years, I like companies that earn revenue, have a growing customer base, have happy customers, a clear and defendable path to profitability, a growing total addressable market, and finally, people I like and respect.

Why did I move to Italy (besides the food, wine, people, culture, art, architecture, etc., etc.)? It was time to intentionally break up the layers and habits, patterns, and structures I had somewhat unconsciously built up over three decades of creating, building, and selling businesses, then investing in dozens more. My thoughts on why it’s critical for entrepreneurs to reset life’s habits to gain perspective and achieve success. Link in bio.

If you talk to the same people, about the same things, and lead the same life you’ve always lived, everything dulls. Change. Risk. Hunger. You need them to stay alive and stay sharp. The fact is, our best chance to find the next interesting thing depends on us being forced to pay a bit more attention.

Improving the world starts with you. It’s counterintuitive. Look at it this way: when you focus on creating a successful business for yourself and your team, you’re creating opportunity and contributing to the greater good. As an angel, when I help a founder succeed, I believe I’m helping create a better, more sustainable future not just for that startup, or for myself, but for the future of our planet.

Sometimes you have to shake the etch-a-sketch. Rebels aren’t afraid to burn it all down and start over. Or make a radical change and leave the world behind. That’s a lesson you’ll learn again and again as an angel investor or an entrepreneur.

Invest in what you know. If you don’t know - hit

Invest in what you know. If you don’t know - hit the road (or sky) and find out. If your investment perspective is becoming more global, you have to gain an educated perspective on who’s the best at what they do around the world. The best global perspective = the best foundation for making strategic decisions.
