Building Start-ups the Human Way

Some news today. In the middle of last year I established a small ‘studio’ to prototype and build start-up companies that had the potential to serve some usefulness to common social problems. ‘Aera XY’ was primarily formed around a partnership with a young man I met a few years earlier, Raul Oaida, who had built an air-powered Lego car, and sent small objects to space for almost no money, from his home country in Romania. 

Raul and I prototyped several companies, and along the way met a ‘company builder’ in New York who liked what we were doing and who we liked. That company, Human Ventures and those Humans, Heather, Michael and Joe were perfect partners for what we were trying to do, so today we announced that Aera XY has been acquired by Human Ventures, and I am taking the post of Chief Innovations Officer to help accelerate our mutual company-building efforts on meaningful projects. 

The full blog post is here and more will follow on what it will mean to build companies the Human way.  

I’m really excited about this partnership and to be joining the Human community! Watch this space…
