Patient Feed is patient feeding services provides quality meals to patients without waiting on a queue.

Consultant turned serial entrepreneur turned angel, then family office director, currently VC investor. I have over a decade of startup investing and over 70 investments. Initially a generalist, then specialized in Edtech, currently investing in Proptech & Construction tech. Always eager to embrace new opportunities. I believe in platforms. When I launched industry verticals for Dreamit, I built the broad networks of hundreds of venture investors and potential customer partners. I then wrapped those networks in process with the Customer Sprint and Investor Sprint programs that I helped design to help my portfolio companies raise funds and close sales far more effectively than informal, ad hoc introductions. I have worked closely with dozens of corporate innovation groups and CVCs and consult for developers, general contractors, large landlords, etc. on what works (or more often, does not work) and how to design a corporate venture structure that takes full advantage of the potential power in this platform. I also believe in maintaining a strong personal platform. I regularly write for startup and trade press with well over 60 published articles in Fortune, Forbes, AlleyWatch, Propmodo, CREtech, BUILDER Online, Multifamily Executive, Architect Magazine, Edsurge, The 74 Million, etc. and I am a frequent conference speaker & panelist throughout the US & abroad (e.g., S. Korea, Poland, Canada).
