> Founder of Del.icio.us. Investor In Etsy, Square, Twilio

I created and founded Del.icio.us (acquired by Yahoo for $30M) which was central to Web 2.0, pioneered tagging (which became hashtags) and was one of the earliest products to offer a consumer API.

I have since invested in over 250 startups, including Etsy ($8B), Square ($40B), Twilio ($10B), Kickstarter, and many more.

I can advise on:
- Technological Innovation and how   it works
- Product and innovation
- Fundraising, pitch decks, etc
- Go-to-market strategy
- Scaling
- Software/Hardware development
- Engineering
- Hiring great engineers

I am very passionate about sharing all of my learnings with others on similar journeys. Excited to connect!
