Strategic Investing
Overview & history

Since 1995 I have been investing as an angel/private investor into a wide range of tech, bio-tech (to a lesser extent), and resource (to a limited extent) companies. Like many other tech-focused investors, I survived the tech meltdown 2001-2004 era, and believe that the good times are quickly returning in the tech space in 2008 and beyond.

I believe that tech is coming back for the following reasons:

    1. Many tech vendors have been forced to consolidate or exit the industry over the 2001-2004 period - the slowdown in tech spending and the very limited access to growth capital (which is vital to this industry) were killers - the result is a lack of 'supply' as the market comes back to life

    2. With the 2001-2004 gap in capital spending on tech equipment and infrastructure, we are now in a catch-up period where companies are having to finally re-invest to replace out-dated equipment

    3. Disruptive wireless and Internet based technologies continue to impact the world of business and consumer entertainment like never before - these opportunities are now being re-aligned with new demand for quality tech investments as other sectors of the economy play out, profits are taken (energy and resource deals in particular), and new investment capital rotates back into the tech space

In the fall of 2006, after exiting Intrinsyc as its CEO, I decided to leverage the anticipated renewal of interest in tech investments by focusing my efforts on creating CPC (Capital Pool Company) investment vehicles with a select group of like-minded and experienced investors.

At this point in time I am not accepting solicitations for early stage angel investments. My interest and efforts are currently directed towards finding suitable vend-in target companies for the CPCs that our investment group is managing.
