About Me

Paul
About Paul Lavallee & VentureFuel: I started my career working in accounting, materials management and information systems in industry. I began building software systems for industrial companies in the mid '70's and implemented them globally. I built my first software venture in 1979 and, in 1987, founded VentureFuel as a software venture advisory and consulting company to help other software ventures leverage my experiences with several IPO's and M&A's.
