We are sure you’re curious about who exactly is driving all this disruption. Well, it’s a very unique set of people. The common thread – each one of us really knows our stuff because we have walked the talk. We’ve been there, done that; over and over again. Whether it is heading trans-continental operations for large multinationals or helping startups with the money and guidance to scale and transform themselves into stable growing organizations, we’ve done it all and more. And now we are looking forward to helping create the next big thing, and the one after that, and… you know where we are getting at.
