“The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by obvious realities. We need men and women who can dream of things that never were…” — JFK
Writing
I write for a number of blogs and publications, and also write my own blog at itval.e (pronounced IT Valley). Primary focus of my articles on VentureBeat and itval.e is to provide deep insight into the technology and venture capital business, especially in the areas of mobile, social networking and apps, and digital media. Planet Saad’s home page serves as a central location for all my writings – whether on other sites such as VentureBeat and itval.e, or this site itself, where I blog miscellaneous stuff including creative non-fiction.
Speaking Engagements
I give seminars on topics such as:
- Mobile Strategy for Businesses
