Claim to notability appears to be that he had a small part in popularising a neologism. Everything else seems run of the mill and the refs don't help much - interviews, mentions etc. Nothing here establishes WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 15:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- notability not established. Likely an advert or an autobiography. Not notable as either "venture capitalist, author and speaker"; Wikipedia is not a speaker's bureau to help subjects book their speaking gigs. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:33, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
