Hey guys! It was great meeting some of you today at Startup School. We came all the way from Mexico to this event and it was well worth the trip. It's our first time in the Valley, hopefully we'll be back in a couple of weeks for a YC interview!
It is good to see Mexican Entrepreneurs here. I don't consider myself an entrepreneur, but I am currently building a startup with my friends from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Maybe we can share experiences and help each other.
Our product is iKnode (http://iknode.com). We are building a service to allow people to easily write apps in the web and for the web. :D
Thanks! It would be great to share experiences. My facebook profile is /garzagabriel. We are based in Monterrey Mexico, if you are in town we can meet up.
I live close to Los Angeles. We can definitely do it online. I subscribed for your service. So I'll give you a good feedback when the beta is open. I would appreciate it if you would do the same. We are currently in close beta, and we are testing our idea.
BTW, your facebook profile is closed to people outside your network. So I wasn't able to add you.
It really was an awesome day today at Startup School. We were not accepted to Startup School, but said to ourselves hey, what the heck, let's not take no for an answer, go anyway, we'll meet amazing and really smart people and we'll figure a way in once we are there. So we did precisely that, and after 8 hours of standing outside the auditorium watching the talks on justin.tv, we finally got in when the crowd cleared up a bit after M.Zuckerberg finished his talk.
The trip was well worth it. But actually, the best stuff happened in the breaks, outside the auditorium where all the networking was done. We met amazing people and got to talk to Drew Houston and Matt Mullenweg. We also said hi to Paul G and many other great people.
We were also lucky to meet Robert Scoble. We talked to him for a while, told him our story and then he interviewed us!
