About

I'm a former founder with a knack for B2B sales and business development, helping awesome startups like b8ta and Arrive grow from seed to Series C. Nowadays, I'm running the show at Techstars Los Angeles and Techstars Space programs and occasionally sharing my thoughts on TechCrunch as a contributor. I also run Trulytell, a pitch deck agency that helps pre-seed founders crush their fundraising and storytelling. I also founded Overlap, a professional networking platform that makes connecting with the right people a breeze through warm, double opt-in email introductions.

What's a product that was too early and failed, but would succeed today?

I've been thinking about how some products are ahead of their time and don t succeed, only to see similar ideas take off years later. Timing really is everything! Take Google Glass for example. When it came out in 2013, it was an big step into AR. But it faced issues like privacy concerns and was expensive. Now, with AR becoming more mainstream and people more open to wearable tech, I bet a new version of Google Glass could do really well. What other products do you think were just a bit too early but could totally succeed today?
