Amy and I have been up at our house in Homer, Alaska for the last two weeks. We try to spent every July up here – something we’ve tried to do every year for the past decade (we missed in 2007 and 2009.) Tags: Work-Life Balance alaska homer. Life is good.

Jim Dunlap, CIO of Alaska Telecom discussed with me the increasingly serious problem that telecom vendors are facing due to bandwidth consumption skyrocketing. Appirio is one such company that jumped on this trend way back in 2007 and has now built a significant company in that space. Sequoia has financed them.

I had become comfortable with Seattle the city, Amy and I were spending more time at our house in Alaska (so Seattle was occasionally a stop on the way to Alaska), and I’d started to enjoy the rain. When we started Foundry Group in 2007, we knew that Seattle would be a key geography for us.

A week ago I had just gotten home after a month in Homer, Alaska. I was totally chilled out – I worked plenty in July but had very little physical human interaction with anyone other than Amy. I’m sitting here in my Boulder condo today thinking about the entrepreneurial tour de force that was the last six days.

The Techstars Boulder 2007 program was an experiment – we had no idea if it would work. I remember sitting at my kitchen table in Homer, Alaska in July 2010 at 2am almost crying with frustration. We worked with our publisher Wiley, who took a chance on us. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and it was really f **g hard.
