I'm an inventor and founder with two previous exits. Currently, I am working on a new idea in the water augmentation space; would love to connect to fellow travelers! I also serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors at Million on Mars, a massively multiplayer online game company that lets players create and share their own crafted content inside our near-future Mars, using AI art. My previous startup, Buoy Labs, won CES Best of Show 2018, an Edison Award, was in Techcrunch Hardware Battlefield 2016, and was acquired by Resideo (NYSE:REZI) in 2019. Investors and partners included Delta Faucet Company, Sand Hill Angels, Highway1 Accelerator, and USAA. Before that, I sold a B2B mobile analytics company called Arqetype to Vivo Rewards Ltd. My first startup, Chopwood, accidentally became a professional services company after I tried to bootstrap it while building products. I can tell you about why you don't want to do that. Chopwood did, however, rewrite a huge mobile social network's backend for scale, lowering their hosting charges from $1M/mo to < $100k/mo with no downtime and increased performance.
