Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 10:34AM This Week in Startups #37 with Phil Kaplan
This week's guest was Phil Kaplan co-founder of Blippy. Highlights of the show included a great discussion with Phil about what it’s like to work as Entrepreneur in Residence, another great Tyler quote and multiple giveaways (5 Jawbone ICONs, 1 Nexus One, $500 MicroSoft prize pack (congrats Erika)).
Announcements:
In the Ask Jason segment, Wayne calls in to ask, what is more important to investors being in a hot sector or having a proven revenue model? Jason follows up with a good question asking Phil how he chose who would be an investor in Blippy due to the large interest. In Shark Tank we get to hear pitches from Propadoo and Brand-Yourself, two great ideas who received a ton of feedback.
