Dave Asprey's Bio

Consulting

I'm a full-time consultant and can take on bigger and more involved projects. I'm independent, but often bring other professionals I know into a project if I need their skills and insights.

I specialize in strategy and product marketing for startups and VC's. I have prepared Board of Directors-level strategy for a publicly traded company with a $36 billion market cap (ok, that was in 2000...), and a managed service product plan I created received $10 million in internal funding from a publicly traded company's Board of Directors. I can do:

Product management
Business development
Competitive analysis
Customer interviews
Advisory boards
Pitch books and business plans for startups
Introductions to appropriate VCs
Sales Engineer training

In addition, I sit on many startup advisory boards, and I'm a formal strategic advisor to two venture funds.

My areas of technical expertise are:

Hosting and IT operations
IP networking
Security
Performance & Availability
Systems Management
3-tier architecture
