About Me — DC Palter
Everything you don’t need to know about me
Hi there! Thank you for reading my articles.
I write primarily about startups and venture capital with advice for startup founders, but also write about Japan and am co-editor of Japonica magazine.
After building and exiting two companies of my own, I’ve been an angel investor for over a decade, mostly focusing on sustainability. My aim is to provide founders with the knowledge to pitch their startups to investors.
To see the blow-by-blow of my college degrees and somewhat random career, please connect with me on LinkedIn.
Although I was originally a research engineer and later a marketing specialist and startup founder, my love is literature. My wife often accuses me of loving books more than her, which is completely untrue but when I’m lost in a good novel, I have trouble refuting her or even hearing what she says.
Besides reading, I also write mystery novels about Silicon Valley. My first novel, To Kill a Unicorn, was recently release by Pandamoon Publishing. It’s the story of a startup willing to go to any length to become a unicorn, and the hacker looking for his missing friend who after discovering their secrets, has to stop them.
