Tech Adopters/Tech Ventures LLC

Managing Director

Tech Adopters/Tech Ventures LLC

2015-8 - Present · 11 yrs 2 mos

San Francisco, CA

Tech Adopters was founded as Venture Capital services company. After the last investment from my VC Fund, I decided to use my knowledge to help other VC's establish reliable services that they could deploy to their start-up founders. We offered strategy, management, marketing, sales, technology, HR and legal services to founders at fast growing young companies. With my connections developed during my VC days I could help the VC community insure that their investments had a higher chance of success. Tech Ventures was born from the need to continue investing in opportunities that needed capital. Unlike traditional VC models, we choose later stage rounds purchased through private secondary transactions. We provided liquidity to early founders and investors from story-book companies who still had a short timeline before their exit or IPO. With typical 4X to 20X+ returns we hand picked Rocketship sectors including: SaaS, Big Data, Technology Infrastructure/Power and the birth and explosive growth of AI

WorldLux Travel

President

WorldLux Travel

2010-1 - Present · 16 yrs 9 mos

Cheyenne, WY

WorldLux Travel is an Ultra Luxury Concierge Travel Agency. When I retired from Finance and Technology, I started WorldLux Travel as a retirement gift to myself — born from a simple belief: retirement shouldn't mean slowing down, it should mean living fully. My true passion is seeing and experiencing the world through travel. I truly believe travel is the best education anyone can have. Learning about places and people in books is great to start the imagination but walking in the place where history was made will make it a part of you. I have a different standard for the word Luxury. As a proud self-admitted "Princess" when travelling, I really enjoy when my expectations are exceeded. I find that most places that use the word rarely deliver on what it's supposed to mean. In fact I don't think it can be defined in the way most people encounter it (a chocolate on the pillow, sparkling wine, nice bathrobe). Don't get me wrong these are nice but when your local business hotel does it, and you still have to roll in your own luggage, is it really Luxury? I travel with brands that re-invent the word with every guest and elevate your experience through how they make you feel. We specialize in bespoke white-glove travel services. Whether you know where you want to go or need help figuring out the perfect destination our team of 200+ Concierge Travel experts will take care of every detail. As we like to say with WorldLux Travel: You will Experience, See, Touch, and Feel Luxury!
