Rowan Perspective Information

Infrastructure perspective from 30 years of building at scale. I help founders and investors see what they're missing, look around corners, and remove roadblocks. Background: - Built one of the early ISPs (1994) - SendGrid: Early team → IPO → Twilio acquisition - Founding team at GeoTrust → VeriSign/Symantec acquisition - 7 companies founded, multiple exits - Operated across startups, public companies, and venture studios What I Do: I bring infrastructure and operational perspective to help you see opportunities, anticipate what breaks, and scale from 1 → 3 → 10+. I help you lead by identifying and removing roadblocks—strategic and operational. I provide perspective through quick sessions, deep engagements, or ongoing partnerships—depending on what you need. Tech founders: Deep on infrastructure and operations. Non-tech founders: Technical bridge + operational guidance. Investors: Portfolio-wide perspective.
