a new year in silicon valley

The second 'Understanding Entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley' started this week. Yesterday was our first full day of meetings.

We started out with Steve Larson at Callspark. Then had lunch at Suriya Thai with Alison Johnston from Aardvark, beers with Matt Van Horn at Digg, and a great experience at sfnewtech.

Here's the gang at Lunch. It was fun, everyone was trying new stuff that was a little out of the comfort zone for a bunch of midwesterners.

The words of the day are "stalking" and "audacious." This seemed to be a theme from many people in terms of both job hiring and job seeking.
