Into the Unknown
Here's the big news: I'm leaving Reactivity. Again.
Yes, I've only been back nine months. No, there's nothing wrong with the company - frankly, they're the most vibrant I've seen them in the last two years. In a couple of months I think Reactivity's going to blow the doors off the competition.
So why leave? Well, I've been asked to join a startup as employee number one. It's a couple of friends, so I trust them. The idea's super cool; I'll be able to tell you more when I've actually joined. It's very new media/Web 2.0, so that's a big change. Frankly, I'm a bit intimidated at the thought of working on a project that might be used by more than a handful of people. And you know. normal people. Not hardcore geeks.
Why now? Well, these opportunities don't exactly grow on trees. Plus it's experience that I'll be able to use when I start my own company down the road (and that is the plan). So wish me (us) luck!
Wow! That's just great, good luck in this new adventure! And guess what - I may as well join a startup, too (my friends and I are on a pretty advanced stage of fleecing some dosh from a vc)
Really? That's great! Drop me a line and let me know what you're up to. Hey, wait - don't you already run, like, seven web-based businesses?
How exciting! Best of luck with the startup. Post more about it when you can, even though I don't understand a single tech thing you are talking about. ;)
