I'm a startup guy, first and foremost. I like building things. Companies, Films, Books - they all feel like creation. I've started and built four companies. Most recently, the video curation company waywire.com. Along the way I've made some films, most notably "Seven Days In September" - about the week after 9/11 in New York. And I've written on the coming together of tech and human skills in my book "Curation Nation" (McGraw/Hill 2012). As a lifelong New Yorker, and serial entrepreneur, I was named New York City’s first ever Entrepreneur at Large - by the Bloomberg Administration. A pretty cool honor and a fun gig. I get to preach the gospel of NYC. Waywire.com is my full time gig - and it keeps me busy. Video is just getting started on the web - and Curation is the secret sauce that makes it work. I'm passionate about Startups, what they're doing to sparkplug the digital economy.
