Welcome to TechStock2000.
I have been a venture capital investor in technology companies since 2000 (hence the name of this blog). I am currently a general partner in two venture capital investment funds.
Prior to getting into venture investing, I was an executive at two very different companies – before that, I practiced law in Silicon Valley with a client base of technology companies. Some of the companies on my client list were Laserscope, Citrix Systems, Mercury Interactive, and Rasna.
I jumped the fence between law and business in the early 90s, becoming the CFO (and later, the VP of Business Development) of Mercury Interactive. We went public in 1993 and grew like a weed. Long after I was gone, in 2006, HP purchased Mercury Interactive for a whopping $4.7 billion.
In 1996, I left Mercury and founded a company called HolonTech with a team of engineers that had formerly worked at NEC. HolonTech pioneered the concept of clusters of web servers – part of basic architecture today for the internet. HolonTech’s technology was purchased by Lucent in 2000.
Nice to find out a little bit more about one who has been so supportive to fellow Apple investors. Your support, your challenges to our logic, and your love of what you do. We miss you at Apple S…., but am glad to read more about you. okpj
