About Me

My photo
Steve Bennet
The best way to describe my work is probably start-up CFO guy. I spend my days working with cool start-ups in a variety of capacities. I am an active angel investor and on the board of Sand Hill Angels. I take CFO roles in early stage companies and participate on the management team during the early financings and business model development phases. I typically stay anywhere from 6 months to 3 years depending on a number of factors, not the least important being that I do not have the temperament or attention span for a full time gig. I also teach Entrepreneurship at San Jose State. On the personal side, I live in Palo Alto with my wife, two daughters (one who started blogging way before I did and the other who runs faster than I do), dog, and crested gecko. When not working or with family, you can often find me on the links at Half Moon Bay.
