Matt Van Horn – Lunch Session

Matt Van Horn spoke at TechStars and some of the things he said really stood out. I missed the first half of the talk, but even still I was incredibly compelled. Decided I’m gonna start taking notes on these session. Don’t read too deeply into them, they’re spontaneous, spur of the moment thoughts and it’s possible I misunderstood. Nonetheless, here they are (and will continue to exist in this blog’s notes category).

Pulling from experiences with Digg and Path. Very compelling stuff about maintaining connections, following up, engaging in Twitter, Facebook. Considers IM to be a huge thing for developing a mentor relationship.

Hugely related to his uncomfortable feelings and chugging a glass of wind at a conference. That was my approach to SXSW.
