I'm very excited for the series Josh. We are about to launch www.starstreetsports.com and have obviously been thinking a lot about customer acquisition, how to generate a buzz and get it to be "viral". One portfolio company of yours that I think did a tremendous job of this and I have been looking at a lot is Mint. If you could shed any more light into their early thought process and actions (or other of your favorites) that would be great.

Looking forward to it!

Brad, do you think you could at some point detail your morning information routine. I have seen you mention it a couple of times, but to my knowledge you have not really gone into it. It clearly is something that benefits you and I often wish I had a set routine for devouring the constant stream of interesting info available online.

Healy, I have the utmost respect for the decision your making and if my advice means anything to you I certainly think your making the right choice. Best of luck... and if you want to get involved with the sports stock market give me a hollar :)

I second that... do it in Boston too!!

great post... I am in the very early stages of a startup, and am looking for a good lawyer in Boston, any advice?
