I explained to Lenny what I do: I incubate startups. To that end, I provide the scarcest commodity of all, leadership and experience. I help the people build their ideas into successful businesses. Neither an angel nor a consultant, I support entrepreneurs as a kind of junior partner, a full member of the team, an owner and a decision maker, not a hired hand. I invest my time, and, in return, I receive an equity stake in the business. With that stake, I think like a team member, and sink or swim with the founders. Some people call me a virtual CEO.
