Are you a micro-manager or can you delegate? →
In the early days of a startup it’s common and necessary for the founder(s) to be involved in every decision. From the strategic to the mundane.
Some love it and others do it out of necessity.
But as the company grows the founder(s) have a decision to make. Do they keep a very tight reign or do…

OMGPOP, I'm in like with you.

My SXSW'i 2010 Experience
So SXSW Interactive 2010 has come and gone; it was another great year for the conference and another worthwhile trip to Austin, TX.

What an April Fool
I’m not usually big on April Fools, but what happened yesterday was pretty funny (or stupid).

In order to ensure that I’d be guaranteed a seat, I planned on...

Caterpillar Cowboy: The inside story on how I... →
GigaOm just posted about the $350,000 angel round we just raised. Here’s the inside story how we raised the money.
Back in January, we raised about $150,000 from friends & family - my mentor from DreamIt Ventures, my old Amazon VP, my parents, a friend from college, a bizdev guy I met at …
