He has raised 22 rounds of funding for his own startups, had several exits and taken one of his startups all the way through an IPO (Qcomm). He also co-founded a boutique investment bank (Hickey Freihofner Capital) and spent ten years raising capital for fast growth companies. His most recent startup is PuraVita Medical, a factory based in Utah which makes medical grade face masks for the healthcare industry and general public. Paul and his team are currently learning how to successfully fight his Chinese competitors who are being subsidized by the Chinese government in a commodity business.Paul is on a mission to inform the American public that their lives are at risk by using fake chinese masks as the CDC has announced that “over 60% of the Chinese masks they recently tested did not meet the specs on the box”, meaning that all healthcare workers, front line workers, and those at high-risk, are not getting protected when wearing Chinese made masks.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tobyonathursday.
