From geek to entrepeneur

Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 08, 2006

Monday tutorial by Marc Henlund, best described as “From geek to entrepreneur”. I do not think that I learn too many new things but Marc was an inspired speaker and I really like his talk. Best part, some of the advices to some of the geeks to be entrepreneur like keep things simple and do not over engineer your product. To illustrate his point, he told the following joke about the wife of a programmer that after several years of marriage is still a virgin and how her husband keeps telling her to wait because when it is done, “it will be really good”. Other important piece of advice, look for VC money since there more than 150 VCs in the US compared to 5 companies that might buy a Web 2.0 type company.

    I am the director for Internet and Multimedia for Telefónica R&D, based in Barcelona where I managed their R&D center. I have been a bit all over the place for the last 15 years, specially in Tokyo, my favorite town, and finally came back in mid 2006 to my home town. I like everything that has to do with the Internet, computers, software and gadgets, not just the geeky aspect but also the business side. I also love reading (business essays mainly) and TV series and movies as well as having a good dinner and night out with my friends.
