Startup Day + Picnik

posted by jonathan Aug 11th, 2009

My friend Marcelo Calbucci is a serial entrepeneur in the truest sense of the word. Not only does he create startups, blog about startups, and go to events for startups, but he loves the startup process so much that he has founded Seattle’s very first annual ‘StartupDay’ (yep, a whole DAY celebrating startup awesomeness). To me, Marcelo himself embodies the ‘startup spirit’; always affable, he deals with adversity with resiliency and grace, while handling success with humility. He is quite possibly the hardest working man in show business. I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Thoreau;

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.”

Thus, StartupDay 2009 was created to help current PRE-entrepreneurs to get introduced to the notion of startup creation. It will be a full day of talks from some known entrepreneurs in Seattle. Marcelo has graciously asked me to present at StartupDay on Sept 26th. From Marcelo:

If you are a technology person (developer, tester, program manager, general manager) and you want to learn more about startups and how to make them successful this is the conference for you. It doesn’t matter if you are ready to found or join a startup now, or if you just want to learn more to be better prepared once you decide to leave your corporate job.

Sign me up for sure! If you will be in Seattle and want to hear some great thoughts on the startup scene; you can register for Startup Day here: http://www.startupday.com/

    Terrionna: Picnik is awesome! But think about it…just over $25 for one year of Premium is not so much when you get to create such awesome pieces of work! What do we spend in fast food and entertainment weekly or monthly? Picnik Premium is a BARGAIN!!! Great job Picnik! Thanks for helping me make my friends and I look FABULOUS!!! And younger! And sometimes thinner! lol!
