I like to invest in companies where I can really add value from my experience, network, etc., so checking out my portfolio of other investments, and my background, will generally give some guidance there.

I focus on consumer Internet. Sometimes it's a working prototype; sometimes it's an idea on a napkin. I don't do a ton of deals a year, and I really like working with startups - it's the only way I can invest. It fits my ADD brain.

If the response you finally receive from me is 'thanks but no thanks', then please accept at face value that I would really not be the right investor for you. You've got to trust me on this, and in this case take 'no' for an answer.

Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.

I like a semi-stressful massage - one where I can really feel something being worked out.

I almost never invest in ideas or plans, so you'll need to have a company and at least a product, if not customers.
