About Jeremy Horn

I have been involved in founding or managing a startup, non-stop, in one form or another, for the last 10 years. I have a background, as a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science and winner of numerous graphics arts awards that has allowed me to be a unifying force of form and function, business and technology, art and process. Another driving force in creating of this blog, one very personal to me, is that when I started out, a great deal of what I hope to pull together and share via the Product Guy Blog, I would have loved to have known and have had access to when I began my journey in the world of start-ups, their products, and venture capital, and hope many of you will embrace these experiences.
