Startup Lessons Learned

SEPTEMBER 14, 2018

Innovation within large corporations has more in common with startups than you’d think, but also comes with its own set of challenges. When I left Intuit in 2015, I was VP of Innovation and led Intuit Labs, Intuit’s internal incubator. I was generously rewarded the Intuit Founders Award in 2011 for helping get it started.

Both Sides of the Table

JULY 11, 2010

I recently wrote a blog post about why I believe that startup teams in close proximity perform better. I once mentioned this idea to a fellow SoCal VC when I told him I wanted a CIC in LA and he said, “Co-location is dead. Uh, I guess he won’t be co-sponsoring a technology lab in LA with me then?
