Both Sides of the Table

NOVEMBER 17, 2016

I’ve had this conversation many times. A friend calls me up from: Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, wherever and says, “I’m thinking about moving to Los Angeles (or SF, NY, etc) and I’d love to start interviewing. Let me know if you hear of anything interesting.” I usually slip into counsel mode and tell them it’s a lost cause unless they’re truly committed to living in that city and if they are they should move there first and job search second.

Now online marketing, SEO, and social media are all extremely important.

Robots Love Ice Cream (RLIC) was the first mobile game that Dragon Army produced. We’ve changed A LOT as a company since then, having launched three more games ( Paper Trail , Defend the Dam , and Little Broken Robots ), as well as starting an agency side of the business. But RLIC was the first real thing that we produced and it will always have a special place in my heart.

By Tom Walker, CEO Rev1 Ventures. It’s been about three months since equity crowdfunding was opened up to all Americans. This change means that virtually any individual, not just the wealthy, will have opportunities to make equity investments in early stage companies. That suggests, potentially, more early stage capital for entrepreneurs. As a VC and angel investor, I believe deeply in entrepreneurs.

SRS Acquiom and Pledge 1% have teamed up to created EscrowUP by SRS Acquiom. As investors in SRS Acquiom and members of Pledge 1%, we are excited about the creative idea the two organizations have come up with to increase charitable giving as a result of merger transactions. When one company buys another, a portion of the proceeds (usually between 10% and 20% of the deal) goes into an escrow account for a period of time (usually a year or two).
