RedBeacon was the 3rd winner (year 1: Yammer, year 2: Mint.com) – not bad company. Ethan had pointed out to me that merchants were being barraged by “deal site” wanting to drive customers in the door but they didn’t have great tools to manage their customers. The company was called Red Beacon. Nice sweep!

SoCal CTO

NOVEMBER 17, 2009

A typical day starts with email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yammer checks/updates. I have a few meetings with the team, perhaps about the website design, radio show structure, an event we are working on, a sponsorship (perhaps the uniforms for our youth basketball team). Sometimes I make a blog entry. Love the minis!
