Started with an IBM XT, now rocking a (libre) X200.

Lived in Vancouver, London, Barcelona and Sofia and run a few decent tech companies along the way. No big hits yet.

Been into startup education since 2010 (founded Leancamp, then Founder Centric) and now exploring peer-to-peer education with Source Institute (http://source.institute)
