Hi, I’m Greg.  I’m an award winning  founder, investor and professor.  I’m here to share lessons learned from my time building, selling and advising technology companies.

I was the first in my family to graduate from college, I then learned how to build businesses, and went on to raise nearly $100M in capital from Microsoft, Sony, Rakuten, Airbus, Qualcomm, Baidu, and some of the top investment funds in the world.  I co-founded and sold my first company, AirMap, a multinational aerospace, and defense software leader honored as one of the “World’s Most Innovative Companies” by Fast Company,  and ranked by Inc.com as one of the world’s “25 Most Disruptive Companies.”  

I am now Executive Chairman at SailPlanAI, one of the world’s leading maritime artificial intelligence companies.  I also invest in and advise companies and entrepreneurs in SAAS, Defense, AI, and entertainment (just to name a few industries).  As a tenured professor, I teach courses related to technology at Pepperdine University, where I am an affiliated faculty member with the Palmer Center for Entrepreneurship.
