Claim to notability appears to be that he had a small part in popularising a neologism. Everything else seems run of the mill and the refs don't help much - interviews, mentions etc. Nothing here establishes WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 15:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- notability not established. Likely an advert or an autobiography. Not notable as either "venture capitalist, author and speaker"; Wikipedia is not a speaker's bureau to help subjects book their speaking gigs. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:33, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yet another guy who took 10 million dollars and made more, coining a neologism along the way to further riches. We are not Managed-fund-pedia. Essentially no reliable sourcing. Bearian (talk) 01:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
