专题介绍
Hopefully, like me, you're here because you're interested in startups -- more specifically, software startups.
<bragging>
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.
Do me a favor and
subscribe to the RSS feed 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.

Adam's both brilliant and articulate. Well worth watching the video.Here are some quic...

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the MIT Startup Bootcamp held at the MIT Kresge Auditorium (a great venue that President Obama spoke at just a couple of weeks later). This was a fantastic event with a packed house (1,000+ people in the live audience) where some great entrepreneurs had a chance to share their experiences and insights. I was a little nervous in the beginning (as usual), b...
