Of course this can be done and of course I am a big proponent of the rise of startup centers across the country as the Internet has moved from the “infrastructure phase” to the “application phase” dominated by the three C’s: content, communications and commerce. So what can a community do?

I was working for the GM pension fund, an institutional LP, as an analyst, doing a research project on consumer private equity and venture capital investing. After getting to know Ben from the tech community, he pitched me his concept for a CPG food company. Leading an investment into an ice cream chain, however, that's another beast.

Tuesday I had hoped to work out in the morning but an LP from the Middle East asked for a call and given time zones 7:30am was the best time so once he asked I mentally switched gears and told myself I would run later in the day.

So a sincere hope of mine in building Frank isn’t that we’re right, it’s that we can be part of growing an ecosystem or community of folks building tools specifically for worker power (LaborTech). I’m going to assume that your funding conversations here were a bit different than your last startup. HW: Frank is venture backed.
