I love early-stage investing - vast majority of my investments are in Series A. I led NexTag’s Series A investment in 1999 before the company launched and served on its board until 2006 when Providence Equity Partners acquired two-thirds of the company. Quote_down

What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Most frustrating: Being too early, which is the same as being wrong.

Most rewarding: Working with founders.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Trying to do it all themselves instead of entrusting and delegating to a team.
