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. 

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.
