Re: Wherefore Art Thou, Austin Investors?

Damon Clinkscales — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:32:15 -0000

Here's a little CrunchBase info, in case anybody is interested

http://gist.github.com/425753 (companies in Austin with listed angels - who are the companies, who are the angels) (collated it manually)

http://gist.github.com/425476 (a generic Ruby script for querying CrunchBase with their API. The API Search is not sophisticated. The Advanced Search web form is much more specific. Perhaps at some point their API will be better, but for now you'd need to screen scrape to get at some really good data. In the meantime however, if you want to play around entering some terms in the search, tweak the script to do something else, etc...have at it)

Re: Wherefore Art Thou, Austin Investors?

Cool. I didn't say it very well, but what I meant was that someone could put together two *similar* lists which are Austin-focused.

On the one hand, entrepreneurs seeking funding to grow Austin companies, and on the other, angels interested in investing in Austin companies.

Re: Wherefore Art Thou, Austin Investors?

Damon Clinkscales — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:20:13 -0000

I think the StartupList and AngelList lists from Venture Hacks are an awesome idea and they've posted several times about connections made through that mechanism. No reason to not collate those two lists for Austin to see if reducing the friction in locating each other is a significant problem.

This was a really good interview, Andrew. Love your passion and Seth's humility. Inspiring.

Btw, now that this video is behind a paywall, is it no longer possible to embed it? Thanks...

Re: Why Are You Starting a Business? Have You Connected The Dots?

Damon Clinkscales — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:22:26 -0000

Writing your blog gives you practice at communicating, helps you crystalize your own thoughts, and provides a good way to interact with your "audience". It gives you a chance to show that you do know what you are talking about, or at least a growth path to get to where you want to be. So keep up the writing. I am trying to do more writing myself (but am mostly failing miserably) about all of the software, web application, and random business ideas that I've had over the last year.

Felt the same way about Buzz. I kinda liked it, but it was way too distracting. Enjoying the blog...I'm reading through your latest 10 on RSS now. Thanks for mentioning it to me on Twitter.
