Editor's Notes
- My work history – Bulldog Interests is a private investment bank that I ran with my dad. We syndicated angels and high net worth individuals into mostly high tech deals in Houston. After he retired, I wound it down and joined the Houston Technology Center as their Director of IT Entrepreneurship. HTC is the largest non-profit incubator in Texas and we helped startups with everything from business strategy to capital raising. From there, I joined ChaiONE as their fifth employee doing sales and business development. They are an enterprise mobile development shop. At the same time, I was the Texas-based partner in the technical and sales recruiting firm, Kain Management Group. In 2012, I joined Forthea, a Houston-based online marketing firm that focused on industrial-strength SEO, SEM, and PPC campaigns. I formed T-Squared Agency to be a hybrid Digital Strategy and recruiting consultancy when we moved to Baltimore in the summer of 2013. When we moved back to Texas, I joined the equity crowdfunding platform, SeedInvest as their Managing Director of Texas, based in Austin.
- Organized crowdfunding online is a fairly recent phenomenon, though the idea of crowdfunding has been around for a very long time – it’s how the Statue of Liberty was originally chartered. Online crowdfunding for equity which has been authorized by the JOBS Act lets investors find deals and invest in them through modern internet methodologies. I am proud to say that I’m the Managing Director of Texas for SeedInvest, a leading equity based crowdfund platform that focuses on seed stage technology deals.
- Investors of any stripe will ultimately invest in You, your idea and then the market itself. Make sure you present your deal in these terms to maximize your chances of receiving an investment.
