--Always SUPER eager to learn more about an ambitious startup idea. Feel free to send your slide deck my way at niko at gcvp dot com. I will get back to you if I see fit right now.-- I work with early-stage worldchanging technology startups and back rockstar founders providing them with the know-how & the capital to launch new products, scale and achieve world domination. I am particularly interested in investing in and partnering with first time tech founders, who have a strong perspective about solving big problems their way. I don’t mind if you weren’t born in the U.S. (talent is universal, while opportunity is not) or if your accent sounds funny (mine does for sure). I don’t care if you didn’t go to Stanford or if you aren’t a domain expert yet. I partner with tech founders who are learning animals and treat every decision as a learning moment; these are the types that become domain experts a few years later. I blog at https://medium.com/@bonatsos . Specialties: Innovation Models, VC, Fundraising, Investing, Deal Sourcing, Product Management, Entrepreneurship, LinkedIn, Mobile (iOS, Android), Cloud Computing, Cross-Cultural Design and making others laugh.
