Back in March at SXSW, I had the pleasure of an interview with Frank Gruber of TechCocktail. It’s always fun to talk with him, especially when we chat about my favorite topic, entrepreneurship. In a little shameless self-promotion, watch the video here! And Frank – looking forward to seeing you again at SXSW 2012… [...]
My old (uh, meaning longtime, not age) friend Su Hawk has really transformed the local tech association called Colorado Technology Association. It’s grown rapidly over the last few years and I’m impressed with what she’s done with it. They have a group called Women In Technology, and its having throwing its’ first ever holiday and benefit [...]
I spent some time talking to my friend Rich Grote, a local entrepreneur, at TechCocktail in Boulder last night. He mentioned that they’re struggling with pricing options, something that all entrepreneurs struggle with at some point in their lives. He started throwing out a bunch of ideas and my head began to swim. I thought [...]
I originally posted this for my friends over at BoulderStartup.org & Silicon Flatirons – they’ve been hugely supportive to the Boulder Startup Scene and I’m thrilled to be a resource to them.

Today marks the 2nd Demo Day for the TechStars NYC class. They have continued to impress us, and I suspect today will be no different given the amount of funding that has already gone into the teams before the program even ended. If you’re an accredited investor – you can watch the Demo Day Live [...]
I’ve never had a bad experience on CraigsList. Sure, I’ve had lots of people TRY to change that statistic for me, but it seems pretty obvious when someone is trying to scam me on CL. But I love selling things on Craigslist. I always meet the most interesting people. My husband and I are finishing [...]
I’m in the process of switching banks. My current bank, Compass Bank, was a small community bank that I loved for many reasons, but was recently acquired by BBVA and now they suck. In the last few months, I bet I’ve accumulated over $250 or $300 in fees simply because I don’t read my mail [...]
For those that haven’t followed along yet, TechStars partnered with Bloomberg to launch a documentary on what it’s like to be a founder going through the TechStars program. The show was filmed in NYC (no, I’m not in it) and offers a glimpse of startup life in the program. The show airs weekly on Tuesdays [...]
