By the end of 1994 I had a staff job, reporting to the co-chairmen of AmeriData where I travelled all over the US helping with acquisitions and generally causing trouble.

I met the co-founder Laura Oden when I was in Anchorage last month to speak at the Accelerate Alaska event. She described how she met her founders at Techstars Startup Weekend in 2016. When you think of Alaska, you probably do not think of it as a popular location for producing shoes.

He blogs to 10,000 web entrepreneurs at Software by Rob and co-hosts the podcast Startups for the Rest of Us. Before I get into the details for founders, let me talk about options-hungry employees.

For example, in 2006, we co-founded Techstars. At the time David Cohen, the co-founder and CEO, was unhappy with how angel investing worked.

The founder/CEO Keith Smith wrote a wonderful love story about the deal which was picked up by the WSJ VC Dispatch in a post titled A Summer Romance Between Founder And Venture Capitalist ? Yes, I’ve fallen in love (in a very non-sexual way) with Keith, his co-founder Jeff Malek, and BigDoor.

The view from my living room in Homer, Alaska. While I’ve never met Abbi, I’ve known David since the late 1990s when I was on the board of PeoplePC and he was a co-founder. Amy and I arrived in Homer this evening for some time in a different place. We are TV-free up here, so that means, well, books.
