Clint Nelsen says: Good post! I like your style!
Global Entreprenuership week is here for Startup Weekend. This is an amazing opportunity to spread the word around the world about what we are doing. We will be hosting events in at least 9 cities during the week, so we will be busy to say the least…
The GEW folks asked us for a bio and a picture, so naturally, i took the bio from my blog here and we decided to throw a curve ball at the GEW guys. We sent them a nice picture out in front of the Lincoln Memorial in DC and this picture. Guess which one they chose.
It is truly amazing the identity something like startup weekend can create. We are able to bike to meetings with directors of the city of Seattle, give presentations in flip flops, and wear slippers all day at work. I guess this is one of the perks of a startup, but somehow people have an unspoken respect for this “style.” We are immediately able to relate to almost anyone on a friendly level. One thing both Clint and I focus on is making everyone we “work” with feel not like a business partner but a friend. It makes everything we do so much more enjoyable for everyone involved, and if anything creates a more productive working relationship as well!
