Entrepreneurial Stereotypes on Display at SXSW
March 16th, 2010 admin
Quick, picture a tech startup founder: Are they male, maybe around 27 years old, a resident of Silicon Valley? Apparently that’s what it takes to build a tech startup for a seed incubation program, at least according to the explicit and implicit wisdom shared at Seed Combinators panel today at South by Southwest. The panel, which featured Paul Graham from Y Combinator, David Cohen from TechStars, Naval Ravikant co-founder of Venture Hacks and Josh Baer from Austin’s Capital Factory , offered much of the expected commentary on how the ability to…

TechStars , a seed stage investment program which has outposts in Boulder (Colorado), Boston and Seattle, recently decided to graded itself . So far, the group is not doing to badly. Out of the total 39 companies to come out of TechStars, 29 are still active, five were acquired and four failed. Twenty seven have managed to raised outside funding...
When I think Y Combinator , I think a couple of scrappy college dropout co-founders for whom living on ramen is more than proverbial and coding is life. They pitch an idea, come out to California, drink in some startupy goodness and maybe make something of it. But that incubator model, now five years old and widely replicated , is changing. At...
How to deal with user privacy on social networks as they grow, mature and become more sophisticated has been a frequent topic of conversation at this year’s SXSW — and not just in researcher Danah Boyd’s keynote address that argued aggregating public information can be a privacy breach, and slammed Google and Facebook for their...

Thanks to my recent travels, which took me from San Francisco to Munich to LA and back again — all in less than a week — I got to thinking about the past four years. It’s been nearly that long since I first started working on GigaOM, the business, and thus crossed over to becoming a founder. The role of a startup founder is a...
This weekend at DEMO a startup called Gwabbit launched a web-based contact syncing service. The company makes a popular app that adds contacts from the web to your Outlook client, but in seeing the name, I instantly thought of Kwedit , another tech startup whose oh-so-cutesy name makes me want to … well … womit. Look, I get that...
In what he hopes will be the first big demonstration of the “crowdsourcing” potential of AOL’s new Seed.com service, former New York Times writer Saul Hansell says he is looking for writers who will write up interviews with all of 2,000 or so bands and artists at the SXSW music festival in Austin. The assignment will involve...
A year ago, Bret Taylor was CEO of FriendFeed , a promising but utterly geeky startup that anticipated the way people could understand the integrated social web. Expectations for FriendFeed were always high given Taylor had co-founded Google Maps and his co-founder Paul Buchheit had created Gmail. After Facebook acquired FriendFeed last August,...
While reading through Seth Godin’s free e-book recently, I noticed that Fred Wilson had dedicated an entire page of his blog to the concept of “ slow capital .” I like the notion of slow capital; it strikes me as the other side of the coin of agile, capitally disciplined startups. Since more often than not, a startup’s model and/or...
