Entrepreneurs can change the world

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

This video sends a message that I totally agree with. After reading Leaving Microsoft to Change the World a few years ago - which inspired my bike ride down the West coast - I truly believe that entrepreneurs can do good in this world, and are agents of change.

The launch of Akoha at Techcrunch50

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I watched Akoha’s launch at Techcrunch50 today, and Austin did a great job presenting their product. I was interested in seeing Scoble’s reaction, and his comments/questions were mostly positive. Which is great!

I think Akoha really hits the spot with social entrepreneurship and doing good, and I wish them luck! (They also get extra kudos for using “Leaving Microsoft to change the world” by John Wood in their presentation) It’s one of my favorite books of all time, and it’s one book I’ve given as a gift many times over.
