My name is Steve Fisher, and I write Venture Files. Venture Files is a blog focused on lessons in entrepreneurship from a serial entrepreneur. It also includes technology industry trends, news and profiles of innovative ventures and the venture capital ecosystem that supports them I write this blog as part education to my readers and part therapy for myself. I have a number of projects going on in my life, but the bottom line is that I am an innovator and entrepreneur.

This blog is written for you, those with the entrepreneurial spirit in their heart out there trying it right now or planning and waiting for the right time. They say that if you haven’t failed then you haven’t really tried. So I guess you could say I “tried” quite a bit.

I am currently CEO of The SlipStream Group, a global services firm that provides strategic marketing, user experience, IT Outsourcing and Technology Advisory to the Aviation, Financial, Technology and Travel industries.

Prior to SlipStream, I was founder of AppSolve, a product management and marketing consulting firm. Before that I did some really cool government projects I can’t talk about and I has also held key product engineering and management positions at IKON, USConnect, Ryland and Wells Fargo.

I love advising companies of all sizes on how to innovate within their organization and find the “innovation rebel” within themselves. I hope to write a book on Innovation and blogging is great practice.

On a personal note, I am an avid pilot, musician and photographer. I’m located in Columbia, MD, USA.

If you want to reach out, please do. All I ask is that you let me know you found me on the blog and what you would like to discuss. I get alot of invites and ALOT of spam. I don’t want to reject or delete a valid request.
