After a career in NYC Steve joined Tech Coast Angels; he quickly started leading deals. Maybe it’s his background as an attorney; whatever it is, he’s tenacious when it comes to getting his deals closed.

If you’re an entrepreneur trying to get funded in Southern California, you couldn’t do better than to have Steve working your deal.

Deals mentioned: Vokle, Allylix, Masher Media, Vigilistics, HitFix, Exponential Entertainment

Julian Bryant invited me to be a mentor for Startup Weekend, San Diego. Because it coincided with with my birthday I immediately thought, what a great way to celebrate! Now I have 20 new friends in town.

Microsoft and Intuit are only a few of the sponsors underwriting the pizza and soda.
I’ll drop by tomorrow for a free breakfast and monitor their progress.

Weekend pitch awards: runner-up GeekedIn and best pitch to Hoot on U.
