Michael Slavitch’s Summary

I combine technology research, economics, and business planning. I look two years down the road and work through the smoke to see what is real and what isn't. My goal is to minimize risk of failure by optimizing development steps into smaller solvable problems so that we can turn on a dime if need be. Iterate, iterate, iterate.

Michael Slavitch’s Specialties:
