As a conscience strange duck, speaking-in-hashtags has a specific goal. The goal, my goal, is to hive mind with mentors, mentee&#8217;s and mentors. By hive mind, I mean tap the collective conscious of genius entrepreneurship shitake.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hashtags original purpose were to &#8220;string together related conversations&#8221; as per the inventor of the hashtag, Chris Messina. I wanna implore, encourage, tease, cajole and motivate you to use hashtags to speak-my-language to specifically build value for you and your startup.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>FTC Disclosure: Chris Messina is a friend and I financially benefit from the knowledge he dispenses.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For example, #CS183do is a sequence of entrepreneurship execution tweets. Another entrepreneurship hashtag is &#8220;#ENGR145&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A better, more legendary, example is &#8220;#EUTWMPPM&#8221;. EUTWMPPM is critical for self-funding a product launch at an industry conference. Trade-show conferences include, TechCrunch, NYFW (New York Fashion Week), or the SuperBowl. Self funding means &#8220;How to Make Money While You Make Money #HTMMWYMM&#8221;. Think of hashtags like NFL play calling&#8230;.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border: 1px solid black; padding: 8px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"bottom\">\n<td width=\"48\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 48px; height: 48px; padding-right: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/3411684931\/bd26194fa93733b624ec22966dbdb9d9_normal.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/td>\n<td><b>Larry Chiang (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/larrychiang\">@LarryChiang<\/a>)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/larrychiang\/status\/571363788730929153\">2\/27\/15, 9:38 AM<\/a><\/div>\n<div>I see blitz reads like it&#8217;s a CS pop quiz in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/search.twitter.com\/search?q=#CS183c\">#CS183c<\/a>&#8230; I remember Charlie Weis remembering Week 5 (chargers vs Patri\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eQ1ebf45Q9\">grantland.com\/features\/how-t\u2026<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>This Grantland article is deeply technical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>NFL play calling is parallel to the technical nature of a startup.
