About
My name is Erin, and I live in the Bay Area with my husband, Jason, and our two children. We’ve both recently decided to leave our very nice jobs and work on a startup together. We’re keeping this blog so that friends can follow our progress and more experienced entrepreneurs can provide perspective.
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I thought your blog was so cool. I’m still in college but I also have dreams of starting my own internet business one day. Thanks for providing a perspective on the inner workings of a startup.

Thanks, Anthony! I’m impressed that you have a concrete goal. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself, even after I graduated. Looking back, I wish I had been more focused but on the other hand it’s probably the only time in your life when you are absolutely free to explore lots of different options.
Hi Erin,
We are in search for a CEO for a startup.The concept has been reviewed by a TOP VC who was a founding partner of SOFTBANK and BOOST mobile. He is recommending that we find a CEO, to replace me. I came up with a “revolutionary” simple idea,but am not able to “sell” the concept due to my knowledge level of the industry. I could be asking the erong person,but perhaps you can point me in the right direction? Like you and Jason, I am raising children (four) small ones and following my dreams. So if you dont respond, I know you are swamped! Thanks in advance!
You guys are inspirational. I’ve been doing my venture part time at night and on weekends. I’m plunging in full time in a couple days! It is great to see others out there “going for it” and getting it done.
cheers!
Jeff, good luck! Great that you’re going for it in 2008!
Scott, sorry for the delay in responding, but unfortunately I’m not sure how to help. Best thing to do might be to work with a good recruiting agency or ask your VC contact for leads. Best of luck to you.
