  • Weakest part of LocalBacon's pitch: the name #TC50 LocalBacon? I don't get it. #

  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #6: bring hand sanitizer — you will be shaking a lot of hands & won't have time to step away from your table much. #
  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #5: BE BRIEF! – 10 word pitch. Then stop to gauge interest, Don't waste your energy, others time! #
  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #4: Print sign that says says what you do — don't waste energy pitching anyone / missing those that don't stop & ask #
  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #3: Breath Mints are your friend — don't make people want to run away right as you open your mouth! #
  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #2: Bring water — you will be talking all day! #
  • #TC50 DemoPit Tip #1: Wear comfortable shoes — you will be standing all day! #

  • Why does @stumbleupon's URL shortener suck so much? Every time I click on http://su.pr links it takes forever or doesn't work at all. #FAIL. #
  • Gonna have to reconsider using Peet's Coffee as my Conference Room C. Always stink of burnt coffee when I return and have to change clothes! #
  • So pleased to hear that a company I was considering investing in made a successful early exit. Absolutely the right decision and great job! #
  • Town and Country Village in Palo Alto seems to be a rocking place on Saturday morning. Hardly any parking spots available! #

  • Did at least 11 email introductions today. Should just throw a party instead — could be faster way of helping make connections! #
  • Like the suggestion that Alan Turing should be awarded a posthumous knighthood. http://bit.ly/qxmrx Pls RT w/ #Turing if you agree. #

  • Your pitch-line is just a ticket to a longer conversation. Keep it short, simple & to the point – like a tweet, but with a link 🙂 #
  • Being a startup founder is experience that is 10X more valuable than any formal education. No substitute for just doing it. #
  • A healthy skepticism is good for startup founders, but have confidence in yourself, aim high & don't be afraid to fail. #
  • Spending too much time at the computer recently. Aggravated my RSI again. TIme to get the ice-pack from the freezer. 🙁 #

  • Agreed RT @MrVelvet: My partner @jcal7 had a great quote today about our VC industry: we need more venture and less capital. Amen, brother. #
  • Funny 🙂 RT @jasonkincaid Yeah, so @facebook just punk'd me hard. http://bit.ly/12fFB3 #
  • RT @rashmi "lots of tweet references to me re #VCs investing in #women. Here is my take on it" http://bit.ly/O4B1e #
  • Never a dull moment for one of the startups I'm helping. In some ways you would think it's 1999 all over again! #
