dream

At this point, what’s most meaningful and powerful to me is putting capital behind entrepreneurs who are solving today’s problems. Technology is growing exponentially and can provide us with solutions that really make a difference. I help by fundraising to support companies I believe in.
I’ve always been an entrepreneur and a creative type. What I’m doing now, putting on a finance hat, brings me full circle, as it allows me to be creative in any market. Bringing creativity to the new technology developments is challenging and interesting. It definitely gets me up and out of bed every morning.
I’ve been an entrepreneur in the technology industry for ten years now. My stress levels have gone up and down and I’ve accumulated a lot of things. That’s what we’re taught to do when success comes our way. But I was completely miserable with that lifestyle and felt trapped. A few months ago, I decided to divorce myself and split the assets, selling or giving away much of what I own. I’m switching my focus from material possessions to what I can give out to the world. Usually, the bigger impact I have on the world, the happier I am.
When I dream about what can happen in the world, it makes me want to do something to help. When we dream and then act on it, we contribute. We also make room for other people to join in so we can do something purposeful together.
