There are lots of other people who are good to talk to on this out of Pasadena and TechCoast Angels. Sometimes, it's hard to get into these folks. Actually, the list here is pretty long. But it seems like matching start-ups to advisors is a bit tough. Andrew - maybe there's a start-up to be had doing that. Dave and Chris are great guys to know.

I do love being involved in startups as an advisor and/or operator. I span the range from funding to strategy to marketing. It's great fun and I get to work with great people.
