About Don Yount

Twenty-five years experience in the technology-as-a-service, software, telecom, datacom and healthcare/personal protection industries, including six years as principal in a venture capital firm. My experience includes both high-growth technology businesses and turn-around situations. I have managed venture capital backed companies ranging from start-up to mezzanine stage. Public company experience includes managing day-to-day operations and financial restructuring that included a proxy challenge and executing an IPO. Private company experience focuses on executing overall business strategies needed to prepare companies for financing rounds (both debt and equity) and exit events.
