So a few weeks ago (Oct 15, actually), I was in Boston for ~18 hours, attending Startup School, a conference for budding entrepreneurs organized by Paul Graham‘s Y Combinator.
The conference aimed mostly to demystify the business side of starting up and had numerous speakers talking about raising venture capital, incorporation, co-founders, finance, intellectual property, etc. Most speakers were entrepreneurs themselves so it was interesting to hear their take on things to avoid, things to remember, etc.
I am glad I got accepted to attend the one-day session (which had some pretty famous speakers) at the Harvard Science Center, although I found out with less than a week to go and no cheap tickets in sight.
Thank god for all those United frequent flyer miles!
Many thanks to Lou Huang, who took this picture without quite intending to put me in it, I imagine 
. I’m seen with Stan Reiss, General Partner, Matrix Ventures.
