I'm an optimist with a spreadsheet open. Rosy about the decade but realistic about a wednesday.
I manage the unglamorous things that must go right before a good idea becomes a business. I gauge businesses on survivability ( I come from a few experiences that landed sour) so a founder’s technology is usually the part I worry about least.
