Marc Nathan and I have been so busy lately that we neglected to send out a notice for tomorrow’s Houston OpenCoffee Club meeting. Well, as they say, better late than never. Marc and I will be at Coffee Groundz in Midtown tomorrow, August 21, from 8:00-10:00 a.m. and are looking forward to reengaging with everyone to [...] The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship is a flagship Houston program designed to showcase both technologies and entrepreneurs from the Greater Houston Region through educational workshops, venture forums and the national recognized Business Plan Competition. Every event is well attended and manages to attract the best and brightest minds year after year. I recognize that [...] So we are deep into the site redesign and I figured a new logo would be warranted as well. Our current logo leaves much to be desired and I thought instead of having one person focus on it, I’d open it up to the entire creative community of Houston. So if you want to take a [...] If you did not get a chance to attend the happy hour at Caroline Collective Friday night or BarCamp Houston on Saturday at the Houston Technology Center, you missed out on two fantastic opportunities to socialize, collaborate and gain an education on why Forbes magazine calls Houston a, “bubbling entrepreneurial tech scene.” Here are some [...] In 2008, Houston’s finally seemed to break through the public relations barrier on the national stage with some major dap provided but such notables as Forbes, Newsweek, and Kiplingers.

I expect that we will have the new site up and running in no time [...] I’m not sure what sparked this but the writers at Forbes have come to realize what we’ve known for some time. Besides being a Top 10 Up-And-Coming Tech City, Houston has topped the list of Best Cities to Buy a Home. What jumped out at me while reading this was the following statement: “Well known as [...] We are all about change…and want to walk the talk. That being said, we also know what we are and are not. The site has been functional (and non-functional at times) but needs to better reflect the diversity of Houston’s startup community. So I am placing an all points bulletin to anyone with some skillz (which [...] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfA3a3iYJ2E[/youtube] A little bird told me about this lighthearted view of what CareFlash does that was created by some young fans…social media is a funny thing, but not nearly as funny as Leatherman. What I find odd is that his beard disappears and then reappears in different clips. Love it! So today I got a nice little note from the guys at DFJ Mercury letting me know that they made Entrepreneur Magazine’s VC100 list of Top 100 venture capital firms for a second straight year. The guys did 4 “first time fundings” last year (Phurnace, Marval, Illumitex and Glycos Bio) which was as many as [...] |
