Disclosure: Ive been invited for free and will financially benefit appx a mill.<\/p>\n

Ahhhh, the TechCrunch party at August Capital. I have pulled some major major stunts. By stunts, I mean Jedi shitake. Remember when R2D2 was two minutes on to the Death Star, he was hacking Darth Vader’s mainframe to turn off the trash compactors and saved five Jedi’s?!<\/p>\n

Think of me as an R2D2.<\/p>\n

This party will be full of C3PO’s. Tall, pretty and talkative. Remember, C3PO is a protocol droid. If you follow protocol, you will not set the curve for entrepreneurship. I made fun of VCs in my “Reverse VC” pitch, because a lot of VCs are like C3PO. Lets set the curve by…<\/p>\n

– Realizing that there is a new protocol that is Jedi.
\n– Engineers at really good school can text me, 6502838008.
\n– Street smarts is learned in a classroom now. Its called ENGR145.
\n– One party as a intern can have more Return on Investment than a year of tuition at University of Illinois.
\n– Fellowships are not protocol. The new fellowship is where you graduate college as a ZeroPtSix millionaire doing a Mark McCormack Mini Company Concept.<\/p>\n

You should skip “moonlighting” a ‘startup’. You should moonlight a Mark McCormack Mini Company Concept. While working as a sports agent, Mark McCormack moonlighted up a side project called the “senior golf tour”. Same independant contractors, same distribution, same sponsors, same TV network. All cash bitchezz. 350mil. Part time work.<\/p>\n

It is very Jedi to do a sequel to someone elses business.<\/p>\n

For practice, do a sequel to any business including Duck9 (I open sourced all of our IP years before Elon Musk did :-). For practice, promote at TechCrunch and set the bell curve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
