Yellow Pill Ventures
Blue pill? Red pill?
I choose to make and take
the YELLOW pill
in navigating the matrix of how humans and technology make sense of the world. Thus, I refer to my portfolio of startups as "Yellow Pill Ventures" (note: I am not a venture capitalist, but have come into startups by working in them directly). The wings of the cross-pollination bee are what I call a Vennt diagram.
Portfolio of startups below.
