As an entrepreneur, Doug's focus is on technologies and products with the potential to disrupt the economics of staid industries.  More specifically, technologies that allow a similar level of productive output with radically less capital, radically less real estate, or radically fewer people.  Technologies that have the potential to improve processes by 1,000% or 10,000% might be able to survive the rigors of commercialization.  Doug helps inventors and entrepreneurs with the challenge of packaging a technology for the market.
