Colin Darretta
Colin is a former investment banker turned entrepreneur and investor interested in how technology can be a catalyst for change in otherwise mature industry verticals, both B2B and B2C. Despite it being gauche he still likes to use the word 'disruptive' (if it isn't broke, don't fix it) and in his spare time does his best to continue as an active member of the New York investment community with a particular focus on businesses in which he can come in and make a real positive impact through his experience in finance and entrepreneurship. Colin has been interviewed and featured in a variety of industry publications on topics ranging from venture fundraising, investing, business strategies and tactics. Colin has also written for a variety of industry leading publications like Fast Company and Inc Magazine and occasionally posts his rantings and ravings on Medium.
