The graceful Namaste

Caught up with VM at Bojam's space in the PnP. We hadn't met since our first meeting in September, and it was fun catching up with him.

As most startup entrepreneurs are very well-networked, I casually inquired whether he knew the folks at a startup for kids. And VM goes, "You mean the guys next door?" Apparently the team had recently moved in as Bojam's neighbors. I was pretty surprised with how well things had turned out for the team, and stopped over to say Hello.

After wishing VM luck as he leaves for India to recruit techies for his team, I dashed to Stanford's Skilling Auditorium. They have the Entrepreneurial Thought Leadership Seminar Series every Wednesday. I got into a capacity-packed auditorium to watch the last 10mins of the Q&A with the team from CoolIris. The discussion was about how they involved about 40 interns in building their product. At one point they even had more interns than full-time employees. They must really have had something amazing going.

It was also SB's b'day and the audience sang and clapped for him. I liked his graceful Namaste to the crowd as we thanked the team for their time and presence.
