About Me

StartupPR
An engineer with a wide variety of interests, whose recent experiences have given him a very cynical view of the startup/VC/media ecosystem and the damaging consequences of it to our society. Interested in discussions about the dark underbelly of it all. I have no financial interest, long or short, in any of the companies I mention (except the company I cofounded, Acoustiic). Everything written here, unless explicitly stated otherwise, is purely my own personal opinion. And my name is Paul Reynolds, unfortunately best known for being former VP Engineering at uBeam.
