About the StartUp Advice Guy TM

I sold a business to big pharma…but also had to sell the chain link fence around a parking lot to make payroll. I’ve experienced the excitement of that first order…and the disappointment when a product I invested so much time and money in didn’t sell. I’ve known the exhilaration of closing a big deal…and the panic as I watched the company bank account dwindle.

I am Robert Green; corporate lawyer and serial entrepreneur. With over 30 years of entrepreneurship experience, I can honestly say that I have seen it all…and loved every minute of it. Now I spend much of my time paying it forward by helping others like you.
