The Technology Investment Dot Info blog is sort of a public filing cabinet –- a place for me to keep track of, make notes on and share bits of news and analysis that affect the technology business world-wide. For a living (see disclaimer) I provide out-of-band investment advice to several hedge funds in addition to developing software and raising deer and cattle.
Since a brief stint designing ski lifts and solar equipment I’ve been involved in computing and finance since 1978, originally in Palo Alto at Stanford and on Sand Hill Road; since then in London, Hong Kong and Sydney. I hold a BSc (Engineering) from Stanford University and an MBA (Finance) from Otago University as well as a CFA charter. I served on the finance faculties of Bond University and the University of Melbourne; as a Vice President and Portfolio Manager with BT Funds Management Australia; and as CEO created an Australian listed technology incubator called Nova Pacific Capital. I personally seeded the first commercial ISP in Australia, and from Nova seeded the first game network and founded E*TRADE Securities Australia. About ten years ago I founded TechInvest Pty Limited, which in turn launched and manages the Technology Investment Fund investing long, and the Intercept Capital Fund investing long/short.
As you can see I don’t presently allow logins or comments from people I don’t know because I haven’t figured out how to do this to my satisfaction.
