Beginning in January, we made a concerted effort to get out more. Our first and possibly most pivotal not so random encounters were with Fish & Richardson partner Rick Horning and AnchorFree co-founder Eugene Malobrodsky. Rick and Eugene made some introductions, shared contacts and recommended trade shows, all of which led to more introductions and meetings in the months leading up to this Schmooze letter. We also bumped into Sputnik and anticipate a great friendship in the making. In a really random twist, we attended a Stanford panel discussion on European Entrepreneurship and Innovation, where we learned that Austin companies are as hot as Scandinavian companies are cold, and that all of them are located too far from Silicon Valley. The message? Silicon Valley schmoozin’ can’t be beat.
