About iamelgringo

I organize the largest community of technical founders in Silicon Valley: http://www.hackersandfounders.com . We also have 8 chapters globally for a combined membership of over 8,000+ members.

We are dedicated to helping as many startups as possible grow from garage stage to successful companies. Because of that, we boot strapped our incubator, The Co-op:

First run of The Co-op: 6 startups All --> raised at least seed 4 --> revenue 2 --> press hits in WaPo, NYT, and Inc. 2 --> 3 acquisition offers

All this before Not-a-Demo-Day.

Did I mention our Not-a-Demo-Day was a Scotch Tasting?

Follow us on Angel List: http://angel.co/hackers_and_founders

    We want to obey city ordinance and not block any sidewalks or streets and there aren't any decent sized parks close to Feinstein's offices.

    That wasn't my intent. I was trying to be funny rather than "pay" for the vote.
