“Odd to watch companies I’ve founded do their thing from afar”
– Mike Arrington
Let us “ball breakdown” that Mike @arrington tweet. He’s saying a lot inside 140 characters. Mike is teasing you with 2 stanford engineering, entrepreneurship things. My breakdown will help you because I set a protocol to street smart business. Yes, I love you and I do not even know you, my newbie #ENGR145 reader.
~1~Spinouts {#ENGR145s}
Crunchbase got Xx, million in VC from Mayfield. Crunchbase is a spinout business from TechCrunch.
Crunch is from the Latin derivative which means to munch food in your mouth. The hashtag #ENGR145s is meant for you to work on #ENGR145 stuff that is three-quarters baked. More on that in a stanford engineering Facebook post, #3qB.
“When you spin out a business from another business, that new business is 1/2 to 7/8th baked. That spinout is not a startup. It’s started-up. It’s a business. It’s #ENGR145s“
-Larry Chiang
When you’re a cofounder but NOT an employee, often you’re a VC.
That rhymed, was funny! And is also genius!
Remember, mike said “watch from afar”. Mike was a VC when CB spun out. That’s #nonEmployeeCoFounder. The pattern recognition that is #nonEmployeeCoFounder is so really innovative that it gives you a 26.1 mile lead in the marathon THAT IS stanford engineering ENTREPRENEURSHIP

it’s about to get more funny before it gets super technical. #nonEmployeeCoFounder is verrrrry often when a FoundersFund GP helps you co-found a startup. More on that over on twitter…
#nonEmployeeCoFounder will be broken down after these applicable tweets.

Exit = sale of Co. twitter.com/auren/status/8… |
