Introduction

I'm a 16 year serial entrepreneur working on Foundups.com and Foundupweek fringe festival that aim to introduce the idea of Foundups (tm) to everyone. The distinction is very important and my goal is to open 1000 Open Incubators (tm) in 24 months.

What do you hope to learn from the group?

How to improve the Open Incubator (tm) Framework. How to be more lean

What do you have to teach the group?

Educate folks on the extremely important role of the foundup stage and how by focusing on it in the right way and have framework in place anyone can be an entrepreneur.

  • Thank you for your the disater relief effort in Japan. People in Japan including my parents/friends who are now suffering the disaster would appreciate your effort. I heard that there is no public transportation to get to the devastated area now. I'll also do my best to support the victims in Japan from DC.

  • Mike - I'm curious to know more. I'm not the most computer literate guy on the planet, but certainly wouldn't mind helping to invest in a great idea.

  • Hey man nice meeting you too. Good luck with that. Startup Weekend was also a lesson for me that my girls are too young for me to spend that much time away from them right this second, so I'm taking a break and slowly going to build a prototype or 2 for some other ideas I have. However, if you guys ever need a technical resource to bounce ideas or questions at, really, feel free. I know infrastructure, I know how to do it cheap and do it right. I can also help devs with scaling tactics.
