DIY Culture - I am lovin it!

July 21, 2008

People have been asking me why.  Why am I starting a angel/entrepreneur group? Why am I sponsoring the startup happy hours? Why am I offering free coworking space? Why? Because I wasn’t satisfied with a) the startup culture in Dallas, b) the current angel investment group models, c) the lack of coworking space in Dallas and so on.  Instead of simply complaining (as I am fairly good at) I decided to do something about it.  Wow, who are we to think we can change things?

Mike Arrington is joining the club.  He decided he wanted a smart, simple web tablet for less than $200 so he is going to build it.  Instead of complaining Mike is creating what he feels is missing.  Amazing.  The hubris!  I love it, this DIY culture that we are creating.  What do you think is missing?  You don’t have to wait for someone else to fill the void, you can do it yourself.

Oh, thanks to everyone who showed up tonight for the startup happy hour.  Great group tonight, see you in two weeks.  Cheers!
