Are startup founders Democrat or Republican?

How are startup founders democrats?

Seems like startup founders would fundamentally lean towards being republicans.

Founders and republicans support innovation, smaller government, free market, open market, self starting, thinking for yourself, taking risk, making huge aggressive changes, changing the world, taking things into your own hands and changing them, pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, not waiting for the government to save them or offer a solution, starting a company, goal of becoming wealthy for generations to come….

You obviously have the option to be neither (which would be the best option) but out of the two most popular parties it seems they founders and co founders fall on the republican line.

I am not a political person, I cannot be political because I actually like to get things done. Being political interferes with progress.

If I had to pick a side I suppose I am a typical startup guy. I opt to create my job instead of looking for one. I encourage millennials to innovate and create their own opportunity inside of preparing for a gold watch and a pat on the back.

I choose Republican.

I love my Estranged Friend

A spoken word for the estranged friend I love:

Just because we no longer speak does not mean I hate you or think any less of you. It simply means we no longer speak. It does not mean our time together is undervalued or overshadowed by what drove us a part. It simply means we no longer speak.
Just because I do not call you when someone lights up my day does not mean I wish ill on you. Just because you are not the first to know my thoughts or experience my pain does not mean anything more than our time has come.

I do not hate you, in fact I love you the most. I do not wish any pain on you, I truly in my heart wish you have the best life you can imagine. I wish only joy for you.

I hope you find peace because losing a life long bond of friendship and family is devastating. We will need peace.

My love for you exceeds this earth!

Insight :

(Feel free to share this link with family member who you truly love but for some reason your communication has broken down. Try to mend misunderstandings and try your best to bridge the gap. If there is any situation that cannot be worked out currently, let them know you love them and wish them well. An excellent comfort to estranged family members. A great comfort to mothers who are not speaking to daughters, daughters who are not speaking to fathers, siblings who are not speaking to parents. Parents who feel abandoned or kids who feel misunderstood. Family is the core of life and if that is not strong,it weakens everything. Please make every effort to unite your family while all members are alive, you will never regret saying ‘I love you or I am sorry’)

My intention for this post is to highlight a major problem and wrap it in love instead of a grudge if its not resolved as of this moment

Love you all

Go forward in peace

Does Diversity in Tech apply to Investors?

Diversity in TECH…INVESTMENT
I have noticed diversity in tech founders, workers, developers, coders, marketing, gender, and yet no change in investors.

Well slight change, they have gotten better looking. A-Grade Investments is living proof.
Ashton Kutcher is an excellent example of what it means to go from rich to wealthy. He turned his entertainment dollar into tech dollars. Ashton like myself is a techie however he acted early with Skype, Square, Chegg, airbnb, and a host of others. Now that’s a good look!
Why must most investors look like Ashton? What stops non Ashton clones from investing in tech startups?
Tech is unlike any other field. WE ALL USE IT.
I cannot understand why investors are not as diverse as workers who make it possible.

I would love to see the average Joe from some town invest 500 or 2,500 in a seed fund startup rather than an xbox and a MacBook Pro.
If the start up does well you just got in early on the next uber!
Let’s turn 500 into 5,000!
Let’s turn 5,000 into 50,000!
Let’s turn 50,000 into 500,000!
Let’s turn 500,0000 into 5,000,000!

Looking to invest in a tech company in Silicon Valley message me!
I know many average people are not accustom to investing in tech companies, but then again many people are not experiencing the Silicon Valley returns! New to tech? Want to invest? Early stage? Angel investors new to tech, lets TALK!
People of color highly encouraged to apply!
School Teachers, city workers, dentist , actors, doctors, strongly encouraged to apply.

Fearless Friday

#Fearless #Friday
Do something you are afraid of, something that makes you cringe, something you think you are unworthy of doing.

Life offers only two choices. At the core of every choice is simple. The choice of love or fear.
Fear says – no, withdraw, scared, selfish, hoard, greed, kill, hate, restrict, confine, division, hurt another, superior.

LOVE says- yes, acceptance, expansion, open, share, thankful, growth, fruitful, abundance, multiply, life, peace, kindness, excitement, encouragement

You always have a choice, but why choose fear.

As you grow you realize you never have a choice. It is not an option to stand in the way of your own happiness

Bitcoin your Brand

Life in #SiliconValley is a constant conversation about whether #bitcoin Is a viable currency or not! Ok That’s not true! It’s a constant conversation about how bitcoin is a viable currency and how can we get the average person on board!
My friend is a bitcoin trader and wears this shirt 5 days a week.
This shirt always brings him so much business…. EVERYWHERE we go!

#Startup TIP- Build your brand and don’t be afraid to put yourself on display. How else will anyone know what you have to offer!

First They Laugh, Then They Follow

As a millennial, transitional, startup, entrepreneur, or solopreneur you must guide a vision and honor your goal all while remaining agile.

New ideas and concepts typically do not resonate with those who lack vision

If someone laughs at your dream don’t take it personally. If you can’t sleep at night because it is in your heart and a part of your soul. Then go forth with it.
Ask yourself a few simple questions

1. Is this possible?
2. Has another human accomplished this?
3. Am I a human?
4. Do I have the skills? If not… Do I know where to locate the skills?
5. Do I want to give 100%?

If so, then move with the nature of your song. Do not fight your greatness because it wasn’t “planned” well enough so that others can get on board. Take your blue print and go! Start and they will follow. You NEVER have to know all of the answers.

Just remember my words
“First they laugh, then they follow” Liberty Madison

BlogHer Turns 10 in Silicon Valley

#SiliconValley is all set for the 10th annual #blogher14
Ladies coming together to share their stories about how #technology has changed their lives!

This group is not centered on #tech #programming #cryptocurrency #hacking #startups or any of the normal ways you think of the subject, it’s centered around connection and how they used those tools of technology and made it applicable to spread their message of cooking, fashion, products, makeup, hope, weight loss, family, parenting, travel, career, and life!

Amazing!

If you miss it this year please mark your calendar for 2015!
