LaunchUp.org
LaunchUp.org is a project I kicked off a couple months back. Best way I can describe it is like barn raising for entrepreneurs, like a community based advisory board. We’ll do monthly events, and maybe an all-day affair in the fall.
I want to work with the existing ecosystem of entrepreneurial support groups and organizations. And we’ll see how it evolves over time. If you have ideas, let me know.

Base Camp: India
So I’m in Noida, India. It’s a suburb of Delhi. Dave Gray and I are here to setup an offshore development center for our 9aisle software spinoff from Doba. I’ll be here for 3 weeks, then yo-yo back to the U.S. for 10 days and then back to India for almost 3 more weeks.

I’m so excited about this new combined center, especially as I helped an ad hoc committee put together recommendations on how to make this merger work, and how the new center can focus on helping BYU students use technology and entrepreneurship to change the world by solving some big problems.
I’ll be joining the new center’s 15 person advisory board, made up of individuals from a broad base of departments from BYU, part from
