We don’t really suck

Posted by jeff on May 31st, 2008

In fact, our own Vikas Reddy was the first TechStars founder to pull out the moves last night on one of the locals.  This left me in a circle of (mostly) guys, sipping a Tahona Margarita, and pondering how the team from Ignighter, a group-focused dating system, could have been shown up by a solo lanky guy in a Simpson’s T-shirt.  Just a few hours later, Ignighter beat me to it, and is already analyzing the replay footage.

Another reason we hopefully don’t suck is that we’re one of the TechStars’ Ten companies of 2008.  TechStars is the creation of David Cohen, Brad Feld and co.  In one of the first sessions this past week, David had everyone in the room give an example of what they suck at, and Brad shared his experiences with the concept of sucking (or sucking less than the competition).

I think that if we expand on this concept both individually and as a team, and we suck less every day, then we’ll have something to be happy about.  So “sucking less every day” is our new tagline for now.

I’ll close by mentioning that Shun currently sucks at identifying beer in the fridge.  On Thursday he sat down at his desk after migrating around the office looking for something to drink and cracked open a can of Dale’s Pale Ale.  I think he thought it was a new kind of cola, because you should have seen the expression on his face when he said “Is this beer?

Yep, sure is.
Shun + Beer
