TechStars co-founder David Cohen is one of my idols. Not just because of his success in entrepreneurship, but also in the way he made himself relevant in the Boulder tech scene. He had already demonstrated his entrepreneurship bonafides by starting a couple of companies, but he was relatively unknown in the local tech scene because he was too busy running his company. Listen to the episode to learn how he managed to meet a lot of people quickly. (Here’s a hint.)
Follow David on Twitter @DavidCohen, and follow @TechStars while you’re at it.
The show opened an closed with music by Fela Kuti, the legendary Nigerian musician. I saw him once in Chicago in the late eighties. He reminded me of a sort of African James Brown. Below is Just Like That. The song is political commentary on the fact that in Nigeria you could be thrown in jail for no reason Just. Like. That. And he was.
