Roger Rappoport

In addition, since virtually all of my clients are alike in that they have no money, get money, have no money again, get more money again and ultimately exit, there is constantly a little dash of matchmaking thrown into the mix when it comes to helping entrepreneurs develop a funding strategy and identify the appropriate angels, angel groups or VCs that we should target to fund the next “cool thing” or their “disruptive technology in that space.”

Having been an entrepreneur for a decade before becoming a lawyer (and having left a lot on the table and learning many valuable lessons in that regard), I have what I believe is a unique perspective–the ability to view situations from both sides of the table. Whenever I dealt with lawyers in my prior life as an entrepreneur, I remember so often wanting to shout out to them “don’t keep telling me what I can’t do or give me a lecture on the law–just give me what you believe are the best alternatives to help me accomplish the things that I want to achieve!” This is one of my mantras that I try to live by in assisting my clients. Access Silicon Valley is ultimately my attempt to provide access to all of those resources that I never had access to as an entrepreneur, which I believe can significantly contribute to the long-term success of a company.
