Hopefully, like me, you're here because you're interested in startups -- more specifically, software startups.

As a professional geek I used to work in a reasonably fun job doing what I liked to do (write code). Eventually, I got a little frustrated with it all so at the ripe old age of 24, I started my first software company. It did pretty well. It got a bunch of awards, attracted a bunch of smart people, reached millions of dollars of sales and was ultimately sold for millions of more dollars to a much larger technology company. Since then, I've started more companies, invested in a few and advised a few more.

So what?
During this entire process, I figured out that there are others out there that are also fascinated with startups and what it takes to make them succeed. So, I started this blog. So basically, this site is for and about software startups.
I'm a programmer, so if something about the site irritates you, let me know and I'll fix it. If there's something you'd like to see more or less of, let me know and I'll consider it. If you've got questions on startup related topics, join the forums and post a message -- there are over five hundred people (including me) that are registered the forums and will offer their opinion and advice for free.
Do me a favor and subscribe to the RSS feed (on the left) just so I know you're out there. You already have hundreds of feeds you're subscribed to anyways, what harm is one more?
Enjoy the site and thanks for visiting.
