Local Investors

United States > New Jersey

I've always been interested in small businesses and entrepreneurs. In the past I worked at Goldman Sachs and realized I hate big companies. I then went to work for a start up internet company for a while before returning to work for the family business. I'm interested in working with exciting companies that are looking to grow and make a difference in the world. I've invested in hedge funds and other investments and it's not very much fun so looking for something that's more interesting and tangible.

United States > Washington

I have a varied educational background (BS and MS Computer Science and MBA) so I can help navigate between technology and business. I also have experience working as a software developer and as a product manager for a large online retailer. Admittedly, I am just starting out as an investor, but with my background I bring real insight to the table. My involvement would depend on the pedigree of the entrepreneur and their preference. However, at this stage in my investing career I feel I can best aid an entrepreneur in an advisory capacity. I am married with no children. We live well below our means and have a decent amount of disposable income. We invest in the stock market and would like to invest in real people who have passion, intelligence, and a track record of success. I reside in Washington state but am open to investments anywhere in the continental United States.
