Both Sides of the Table

MARCH 22, 2011

This time on mysterious party bus to nowhere but situated with the CTO & Cofounder of Living Social, Aaron Batalion. It has to do with the future of social networking. If you bring a nice bottle of chilled sake they’ll always remember it was from you. I like that idea. I shall be ordering a case.

The dead startups honored were mobile social-networking company Addieu, mobile game and activity locator Get-a-Game and the late, seldom-lamented but often-derided Kozmo.com, which failed way back in 2001 but to this day is held up as the embodiment of dotcom-era foolhardiness.

In 2002, I met Libba and Gifford Pinchot, cofounders of Bainbridge Graduate Institute , at a retreat. My friend Gene Kim, cofounder of Tripwire and author of When IT Fails , suggested I get a handheld gaming device. Enter the Craziness. The two tried to convince me to enroll in their new MBA program focused on sustainable business.

The Trouble With Non-tech Cofounders. I want to reflect on my experience as a non-technical founder and reassess my original decision – almost two years ago – to stick to what I’m good at, and not waste time learning to code. guest author. Thursday, February 23rd, 2012. Not convinced?

A year later and the Hungry Machine team had one of the top apps on Facebook, a social network for book lovers called Visual Bookshelf. Over the next four years I worked closely with Aaron and his cofounders as LivingSocial rode out the ups and down of the local daily-deals space. Aaron was not an introverted CTO.

The mailing list works in two ways: Every two weeks the 10 most interesting listings are e-mailed to more than 40,000 startups on the “Help a Startup Out Digest” listserv, and every week the best technical listings are sent to the “Hackers Digest” listserv. Because there’s a fee to post jobs and resumes, there’s not much spam.

The funny part is that I didn’t realize Eventbrite had male cofounders since Women 2.0 always spotlighted Julie Hartz, cofounder and wife of Kevin. ConnectGroup – developed relationship with a Hilton general mgr in the south bay, then he became an advisor for Connect, got them into a few other hotels.

Friendster’s valuation set the tone for the entire social networking space. Put another way, the ideal financing partner is a financing cofounder. Eric also showed deep technology capabilities, proving our technical chops. Professional networking, not social networking.

The number two thing is lack of a technical co-founder. If you attend networking events, you’ve probably met a lot of entrepreneurs with an idea who need a partner to build it. Partner with a Programmer After they have their big idea, most non-technical founders set forth to find an engineer to form a partnership.

27 am Finding Founders Jump to Comments One of the most common questions that I hear at networking events and on social news sites deals with finding a co-founder with hacking skills, specifically when the person asking the question isn’t technical. Look at these 2 ways of approaching a potential cofounder.

Are you inventing new technical solutions to a problem? Facebook was a new way to manage social interaction, Google was a new way to search, Amazon was a new way to purchase, both Twitter and Blogger were new ways to communicate, and Digg was a new way to determine the relevance of news. But it sure does seem to help!

How cofounders can collaborate without going crazy. The new ones are obviously offering more social network awareness and more ways to communicate, so that’s kind of where everyone is moving. How to move from a free to a paid product without losing all your users.

People seem to be missing the really big picture of the value of social media and really the Internet for that matter. They look at how current social networking sites work and how online and offline relationships currently work and make the assumption that this represents the value proposition.

At this stage you’re essentially selling yourself and your cofounders. But to get that Silicon Valley angel funding you have to be part of that social network; most of the rest of the world doesn’t have that frothy environment. PreCog Security, a company I am currently helping to build as cofounder, is taking this approach.

I’ve listed the most common levers that universities use below, with some live examples from Yale: Strong technical departments : Computer Science , Math , Physics. Everyone wanted to work in finance. Everyone wants to work in tech startups.

This time things like, Patent, copyrights, other basic rules like technical issues and complications were something i was expecting from you. Had Seth’s co-founders lacked technical skills, but had the same enthusiasm around the RDF of bringing IM to the browser, they would have been equally successful. Does that make sense?
