This year’s local election in Boulder is a critical one. The city that we love risks shutting its doors. While the business community in Boulder has contributed immeasurably to the vibrancy, charitable contribution base, economic development, and success of our community, there is a faction in Boulder that feels that our city should stop moving forward and instead should live in the past.

I love this from Paul Graham : Plus founders who’ve just raised money are often encouraged to overhire by the VCs who funded them. Kill-or-cure strategies are optimal for VCs because they’re protected by the portfolio effect. VCs want to blow you up, in one sense of the phrase or the other. But as a founder your incentives are different.

Quick! How many CRO “best practices” can you name off of the top of your head? I’m willing to bet the number is quite high. I believe best practices are merely common practices [Tweet It!] , which is why I’m putting another “tried and true” concept to the test.

Below is from a post we just put up on the Foundry blog. It’s critical in this election that the business community in Boulder takes a stand for progress and against closing the doors to the city. The two issues below are of great importance to the city of Boulder. So is electing a strong and reasoned City Council. I’m supportive of OpenBoulder’s approach to that and they have great information on the candidates they’re backing.

When you do, how do you find a way to make it worth their while? I find myself on both sides of this – being asked by people frequently to meet (mostly to share advice) and wanting to meet with people that I don’t already know.

Last week I wrote about how much Chicagoans love our city. This week we had another great reason to do so. What, you ask? The CUBS, I answer! For the first time in their 100 year+ history, our dear Cubs won a playoff series right here at home, in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. Does this come as a surprise to us?
