This company was started by Victoria Duff (who many of us know from back in the late 90s), Phillis Lane (who I have known for quite a few years) and Jon Bukosky.

40% of all of YouTube is viewed on mobile devices and of high-quality content I believe it is between 60-70% based on my insider data.

I’ve sat on ad tech boards with board members who clearly knew little about impressions, fill rates, CTRs, RTB, eCPMs or the difficulties & opportunities of embedded mobile SDKs vs. HTML5.

By far the most popular post on this blog is 32 Questions Developers May Have Forgot to Ask a Startup Founder.

I originally came from the entreprise software world (for 10 years) and before that I was in mobile & telecoms (8 years) so the last three years of immersing myself in consumer Internet, digital media & advertisings has been very eye opening. I know the more experienced consumer web people will be laughing about now.

I completely agree with her, but Ive found it to be really difficult to: Meet People within a given Geography Online who share passion around Technology, Start-ups, etc. So, what Ive ended up doing is planning our own events (wine tasting) and just inviting people who I know are interesting.
