Who is Jeffrey Priebe?

I am a startup consultant and I help startups make money.

My experience includes:

• Creating and selling the software IP for a web application at a Calgary-based startup
• Finding new technology products that match a markets interested in buying them
• Leading software development projects

My Background

About Me:

• I love tech startups.
  If I didn't enjoy this, it would make much sense to spend time & effort here.
• I get technology:
  I wrote my first computer code for-pay over 15 years ago.
  I sold the IP in my first startup in 2006.
  My background is programming & software development project management.
• I understand business & sales:
  I've sat on the management team with tech industry veterans and jammed on business plans and sales approaches.
  I've completed graduate studies in business administration.
  I am particularly focused on the tech & online businesses that I love.

I bring together these two things: technology + business understanding.

More Information

• The most recent things I've read that I think are useful for start-ups are in the links on the right. These are constantly changing as I read new things. If you want to follow the whole list, it's a specific tag ("BlogLink") on delicious. Think of it as my highlight reel for startups.
• Some of my favourite authors can be seen in the blogroll. I hope that you'll find them as helpful & inspirational as I have.
• I'd love to meet you in person. If you check out the upcoming list on the right and see an event that I'll be at (some of that list is just events that I think are neat - they are listed as "watching" in the upcoming system).
  • If you know about somewhere in town where people are showing new technology or web applications or web-based services that they've created that I don't have listed, please tell me - I'll probably join you there.

Other Interests

When we do meet in person, here's a few topics that I'm interested and would love to hear your take on:

• The latest technology
  (Of course.)
• Innovation & Ideas
  How we think & learn and are creative. Where to find ideas and who to watch for innovation.
• Environmental & green activities
  I firmly believe that we need to be making a difference in how we use natural resources. One of the small things that I do is buy Bullfrog power for my home.
  If you are familiar with green technology - even better!
• Good food & good coffee
  Know where the best coffee shop is in town? I'd love to hear.
  I love finding new restaurants that serve great food.
