Founder Insight 1/25/12
TheFunded.com Open Letter
Posted by Gopal Kamath on 2012-01-25
Founder Insight is a weekly newsletter that provides global insights from the people building great startups. Each week we’ll send you an exclusive training video from inside the Founder Institute, as well as other helpful resources from startup communities around the globe. Click here to subscribe
Editor's Note: At last week’s Founder Showcase, we watched a series of amazing interviews on stage with Mark Suster, Mike Maples, Jr., and Dave McClure. Many of the people in the audience told us they were the best talks we've had on stage to date (and that is really saying a lot!).
We will be releasing more news from the event shortly, but in the meantime check out the video of Dave McClure’s interview on TechCrunch here, and Mike Maple’s Jr.’s and Mark Suster’s interviews on All Things Digital here.
