Startup One Stop

Good morning, All,

Ok, so first came the announcement that Larry Page was stepping in as CEO of Google come April (http://read.bi/hQGNRe), and the announcement was all over twitter, pretty much to the exclusion of all else but our favorite was tweet from Eric Schmidt himself: “Day-to-day adult supervision no longer needed!”

Next came the Crunchies and Twitter won for Best Overall Product or Startup, and for being anindispensable part of social communication and a key ingredient in the fabric of the web. Read More...

Good morning, All, and our thanks to British Airways for making it possible. Yes, we are one of the winners of the BA Face-to-Face Competition, which is bringing American entrepreneurs to London to meet with the British business community, so let’s use this opportunity to meet, London-based members!

Arrival Date: February 4. Meetings: February 5. February 6: happy to plan an SOS gathering, so let me know if you’re in, and let’s get together at some pub or other. Open to suggestions. We love to put faces to email addresses and always happy say hello, no matter where in the world you happen to be.

Good morning, All, and hope you had a fabulous start to the new year. And we’re referring to the weather here in NYC, nothing more (that we’re aware of) – freezing and 19” of snow to end the year; 50 degrees and balmy on New Year’s Day, which we will take as a good portent.

Congratulations (again) to Emily Lutzker (openinvo.com), who ended the year with a write-up in Techcrunch (this time) and started the new year with paying customers!
