Want to be Mike Arrington in [insert city name]?
January 1, 2009
There can be only one Mike Arrington and only one TechCrunch, but there is no reason you can’t be like Mike in your own neck of the woods. David and I are working to make SpringStage a vehicle for the creation and promotion of startup communities throughout the United States and beyond. We need “Mikes”, i.e. catalysts, to join the cause to organize and promote entrepreneurship in cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Buffalo and so on. Each major city should have at least one catalyst; someone who cares about building a healthy startup community in their area - here is how it works: Step One: start writing your own startup blog (we will set it up for you), Step Two: organize local events (we will show you how and help you), Step Three: (well, we have to keep some things secret). For example, here is the SpringStage schedule in Dallas for 2009.
Today we have catalysts in Alabama, Belgium, Brazil, Caribbean, China, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Philadephia, Philippines, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ukraine, Vietnam and Washington. Want to join us? You don’t get paid, the only reward is that you might make a difference in your own community. Join us by filling out this short application form.
2009 is going to be a big year for SpringStage and we are looking for a few good people to join our cause. Our official launch is planned for Q1 (we will keep you posted).
