The Future Is Bright

future

Power is more important to me then I like – I bring converters before cigarettes… I got this IBM X60 – darn its fast – Intel Centrino Duo is speedy speedy. I did not get Adobe Acrobat installed – so found this nice online .pdf converter very convenient.

I got this blasting fun Spider video from Erik Andersson – and learned that you can get a Hooters Mastercard – ehhh.

I have been flooded with requests of initations to Joost – but since Im not part this venture – I dont have more left. I tried it – was impressed with quality – but content wasnot for me – and I only opened the application 2 times over the last month… I just wan FREE TV – FREE MOVIES and FREE MUSIC – NOW – Dear Google wrap the AdWords around and get going.

I got in Apple mode. Got a MacBook – blamed it on Laura :) – wow its nice and Im looking forward to try Windows on it… Got a iMac 24″ (just realised it has DualCore so it can Run Windows as well – hmm do I want that ?) with TV-tunercard for the sleeping-room – Im impressed with the record function – cabletv does not deliver a signal good enough – hope HDtv will come to Denmark before I die.

Have been focusing 90% on Orolix darn it looks like a killer – Soren just wrote up the thing – how amazingly nice to have a partner who can write a plan i 2 hours – that takes an adult life until 35 to make and execute – and had board meeting with Palora, talked with Jubble, Zyb, Spleak, Johannes on a Pier2Pier connector I did not really understand, some internet Charity called, talked quite some ti Martijn faboulous the energy boms from IIP, got a few clients to Hello … I use Google Spreed-sheet to organise my Orolix todos – dreaming about a Wiki but my aesthetic since does not allow me to use ugly techie wiki (stupid me).

Am I doing a diary here – or just feeling guilty not to post more often ?

PS. Linus got the old iMac – so no one is with a PC (or should i say Apple).

My New Venture

no post

I have decided to go 100% in on my mariage&family and company wise Orolix.com.br and turn it into something really big. It feels VERY VERY good to have something focused on the schedule – I will only do “other ventures” on Thursdays – and Im very sure that this can become the biggest thing I ever did. Mostly because of the team in Brazil and the magic founder (from Libanon) Nagib – what a personality – Im already a fan as you see in the fan picture.

To you – dear VALUED readers – Im sorry to say – that I will be posting less – since I have to focus very hard to succed…

lukas

I was invited into the Studivz (the German facebook copy) – but in the Berlin Main Train Station I decided that I was not comfortable with the founders – I was wrong and Im cool with it. The fact is the I got to the deal via Lukasz from SpreadShirt – a company I looked VERY CLOSE AT GETTING INTO the same day – but found too overprised for mee. I think the deal is insane and the guy who bougth this non profitable making company – must be crazy :) – or wanting desperately too prove something to his family members in the family business (why do I write stuff like this – what kind of person am I). But thats my opinion . and hopefully WRONG.

Lukasz had NO MONEY AT THE TIME – but he did put his personal account into the RED to do this – and now made 3-5mio EUR – AND I FUCKING LOVE IT !!!!! Congrats Luke – hope to see you sell SpreadShirt (or make it insanely profitable) soon – and Im sure that Accell is the best VC for you – good choice.

Sexism

The reason I chose the username sexism – is that I originally was opening a blog on wordpress to post on sexism – and how to get around it. I work with 40 startups and there are nearly NO GIRLS – and what does that mean for my 2 daughters?

http://obvious.com is the new startup from Evhead and BizStone – and I must say its weird and cool like only these guys can be. Exptremely outspoken – without saying a lot. The REM of web2.0 or maybe Web3 .0.

Ev gave me the guts to go all in on blogging and keeps impresing me with his posts:

Hjalmer & Rebtel & Index

hj

Hjalmer is a very nice guy – and a superb serial entrepanuer – who havent forgotten where he came from (zero). But I have to say that I think he gut starstruck by the size of the numbers on the Rimmer families calculator (Rebtel Dials up $20 Million in Series A Funding) – when he took in all that money. Im about to raize money for 6-7 companies now – and I really dont want to have those insane evaluations – even though they are in the air.

Ventures = Legends

This is so well written and gives this stardust to venture capital – that makes one work even harder..

Web 2.0 – we are lucky expirience this


I just realised today how endlessly lucky we are to expirience this era of time. The era where internet really takes of and mobile phones are getting faster connected then slow computers.

1) BROEADBAND IS REALLY GETTING USED – I was at my new neigbourhs today – very nice elderly couple – who had been cut off from broadband due to the work in our house. They had asked me if I could do anything to get them broedband back – the did not care about the phoneline (landline) since they have cellphones. So I took my WIMAX BOX – and a wifibox – and installed in ther computer room (YES THEY HAVE EACH A COMPUTER and they are above 65).

2) SLOW PCs WITH BROADBAND ARE SLOWER THEN CELLPHONES – the lady nextdoor had so much spyware and stuff on her PC that starting a browser took 2min. And it suddenly got to my mind that CELLPHONES are now WAY FASTER THEN most offf all PCs – since they are full of spyware and strange apps – that people download and forget about…

I wonder if this is 2.0…

Nano Launch


We are very involved with the new Danish paper – and yesterday we lauched the editors blog – at this pretty VERY GOOD DOMAIN – Avisen.dk (equal to Paper or ThePaper.com). Its simple – just the editors notes. He still has a bit to learn – in terms of writing short and precise. I must say that the impacts seems quite sustantial just see this (trafic the day after)
