Prior to SprintkickI worked as a VC for a new firm called Juvo Capital, based out of L.A. I spearheaded the firm's expansion into Silicon Valleyand into theConsumer Web tech category.
In the longlong ago, I was a co-founder for an educational software startup called ScholarPRO that raised a ton of money and then spectacularly blew up (in the bad way). Before it exploded like the Death Star, I went through fivetech incubators (yes, five):Tech Stars, Excelerate Labs, MassChallenge, Babson Venture Program, and Sparkseed.
