What is a piker?!<\/div>\n

A piker, according to Ben Affleck in BOILER ROOM, is a person who “walks at the bell”. A person who makes small bets, won’t take risks and constantly talks about upcoming vacation<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Me?! I burned three days of vacation going to TechCrunch Disrupt and two days going to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. For the purposes of the Urban Dictionary and Merriam Webster definition of “piker”…, I’m the opposite of a Piker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No offense to my brothers brother at Pi Kappa Alpha (aka Pikes).<\/div>\n

– #InternalEscrow<\/div>\n
– #OneWayLetterOfIntent<\/div>\n

Internal escrow and one-way-Letter-of-Intent I explained in an engr 145 video  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
-2- Pikers need to see something innovative as actually something old<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So if you’re dealing with the innovation chasm, lets pretend our innovation is old…<\/div>\n

Cool eh?<\/div>\n
