Being an entrepreneur himself, Aaron works as a business advisor and is actively involved with early stage companies in Texas.  As a strong proponent of entrepreneurship, he advises seed and early stage companies from startup through acquisition by developing IP strategy, implementing business development objectives, and obtaining the necessary financing to position businesses for growth by representing high-tech start-ups in the investment and fund-raising process.
