About John Chisholm

John Chisholm Ventures advises and invests in entrepreneurs who are passionate about making the world a better place, and helps create market environments conductive to entrepreneurship worldwide. We are technology entrepreneurs who have experienced first-hand the challenge, personal growth, and liberation of entrepreneurship; and witnessed the economic growth and advances in quality of life that entrepreneurship drives worldwide. We serve other entrepreneurs through consulting, angel investing, and mentoring. Globally, we promote entrepreneurship to drive economic growth in the developing world and advances in quality of life in the developed world. We do this by advising global leaders and policy makers; promoting freedom and free markets; and by raising concerns when regulation stifles entrepreneurship and innovation, reinforces the positions of entrenched market players at the expense of new entrants, and increases incentives to shift jobs elsewhere. Specialities: Enterprise/consumer SaaS; customer/workforce loyalty; business intelligence, measurement, analytics, reporting.
