I organize the largest community of technical founders in Silicon Valley: http://www.hackersandfounders.com . We also have 8 chapters globally for a combined membership of over 8,000+ members.

We are dedicated to helping as many startups as possible grow from garage stage to successful companies. Because of that, we boot strapped our incubator, The Co-op:

First run of The Co-op: 6 startups All --> raised at least seed 4 --> revenue 2 --> press hits in WaPo, NYT, and Inc. 2 --> 3 acquisition offers

All this before Not-a-Demo-Day.

Did I mention our Not-a-Demo-Day was a Scotch Tasting?

  10. HN Poll: Want an SSD based webhost? I do. Need feedback...

    EC2's hard drives are really, really slow. A crappy Solid State drive I bought for $150 2 years a go is 50x faster than the fastest EC2 hard drive. Shit's gotta change. Why spend weeks optimizing my DB and SQL queries…
