It has been over a year since I have posted, and I want to give a quick update to all of you about what has happened in the last year to me personally, and a little bit about what is ahead. Here is a quick run down on what has happened:
- Shortly after my last post in November of 2007, Tara and I had our second child - Samantha Williamson. She came 6 weeks early, but is doing great!
- Last March I had the great fortune to play a role in launching the Dash Express. I never expected to be briefing Walt Mossberg of the WSJ, doing an interview for the ABC Nightly News and the CBS Morning Show, but I had the great pleasure to take on those responsibilities and the launch went well.
- In June I decided it was time to get back in shape, so I applied management and economic theory to weight loss and lost 32 pounds in 90 days, and a total of about 41 pounds since June 1st. (I will post more on this later)
- August was a crazy month with the sale of Shelfari to Amazon and me leaving Dash to start a new venture. (I will post more on my new venture later)
- In September while spending time thinking about new business opportunities I had the chance to spend a lot of time observing the market meltdown (more on this in a later post).
- In Oct / Nov / Dec we formed our new company (Inquisitive Minds), raised a seed round of capital, and are executing on our product & vision (more on this later).
I will be posting much more frequently in 2009 on some of the topics mentioned above as well as on what it is like to launch a new venture in the midst of an economic meltdown.
