Inspired by Brad’s trip to Vegas with his dad, I left a message with my dad the other day to see if he had some time to hang out with me for a weekend. I get along great with my dad and I constantly consult him for advice, but I don’t think we’ve spent a solid chunk of one on one time together in over 10 years.
Dad must have been pretty psyched cuz he called me later in the day with a solid list of ideas and dates… fortunately an idea on his list matched with mine!
One of my fondest memories as a kid was spending a few weeks each summer with my dad and best friend Brian camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing, dodging moose and bear, and mucking around in the remote areas of Baxter State Park in the northern part of Maine.
My dad and I are going to spend a weekend doing the same somewhere in the Front Range of Colorado this Spring!

An early mentor of mine and great guy, David Cohen, coloradostartups.com, has made an incredible contribution to the entrepreneurial and tech scene in the Front Range of Colorado with the launch of Tech Stars!
Tech Stars is an amazing opportunity for young entrepreneurs to learn from a stellar group of folks, to build out their idea, and to spend a summer in an amazing place, Boulder, CO! You will get to spend some time with Brad Feld, Jared Polis, David Brown, Kimbal Musk, Brad Schell, Wendy Lea, Terry Gold, Alex King, Seth Levine, Greg Reinacker, Dave Taylor, etc, etc. Talk about an all star lineup. See the full roster here. Holy smokes - that exposure is invaluable.
This is an unbelievable opportunity and something I wish was in action when I came out of school w/ tons of ideas but no clear path for executing or exploring any of those ideas.
Check it out… apply! There’s also a nice bit on Tech Crunch… be sure to checkout the video there!
Very nice, David!
