Thanks for reading SMA. So far in 2017, we've tracked upwards of $128 million in investments and 13 company or asset transactions. It's fun to see how much this market has evolved from its early days in basic monitoring; less fun when promising companies close their doors unexpectedly.
As it happens, things are slow around here, and I'm looking for new client projects to keep things going. My most recent clients turned out to be unfunded (and staying that way), and my current projects won't generate revenue until later in the year. More on those later.
I have time. Who wants an outside contributor? (Or an inside one?) Here's how to reach me, or read the clever profile on LinkedIn. My passport is current.
Thanks to everyone who is contributing at Patreon. I appreciate your support.
