Stuart Edwards: Tale of a Serial Entrepreneur
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
Few individuals can successfully combine an inventor's creativity with an entrepreneur's business acumen to launch a device start-up company. Doing that nearly a dozen times, as Stuart Edwards has, is quite a feat, particularly in today's hostile environment for device company creation. Edwards has a unique formula, relying on a common technology base (radio frequency or RF energy) which he applies to untapped markets, such as sleep and gastrointestinal disorders. Critics of his unorthodox approach claim Edwards fails to maximize value, creating separate companies rather than building a single company with greater critical mass. But Edwards has yet to have a company fail and investors are returning for more.
