Founding Partner at Highline Beta

I'm a founding partner at Highline BETA. Highline BETA is a startup co-creation company investing in startups that are deeply connected with corporates. Through our Startup Co-Creation Methodology we work with large companies to identify areas of opportunity, growth and disruption, and then invest in those opportunities through early stage startups. I'm an entrepreneur, investor, product expert and author. I've worked in startups (VarageSale, GoInstant and others) and large companies (Salesforce), with the knowledge and experience to bridge the gaps between them. In 2013 I co-authored Lean Analytics (http://leananalyticsbook.com), to help startups and large enterprises build better products faster with data. I've spoken globally and consulted with many companies around implementing Lean Startup and Lean Analytics. In 2010 I co-founded Year One Labs, a pre-seed startup accelerator. One of our portfolio companies, Localmind, was acquired by Airbnb. Year One Labs was the first accelerator to apply a rigorous Lean Startup methodology. Areas of expertise: startup innovation, business model innovation, Lean Analytics, Lean Startup, product management, design thinking, startup investing, startup accelerators & recruiting.
