Is now the time for a startup?
Things are looking pretty bleak in the economy today, even though there might be some improvement going on. For those that still have jobs, they still wonder if they will have a job tomorrow or if they will be among next week’s statistics of the jobs lost the previous week. Is now the time to take chances and throw in with a startup?
Introductions
Since this is the first time most of you will have run into me, I guess I should introduce myself. I’m currently retired, by choice. I advise venture funded startups. I am currently working with Aerohive Networks. Previously, I advised Agito Networks which had been acquired by Shoretel. I also volunteer my time to the Jazz Archive project at KCSM-FM, digitizing the third largest jazz LP collection in the world. I serve on the board of San Jose Jazz, a service organization that provides music education programs and presents the San Jose Jazz Festival.
