Business guys don’t seem to be very popular with tech guys these days – http://quist.co/post/5004683561/why-engineers-distrust-business-people. But after what he did this week, I know he is definitely the business guy for me. While he doesn’t have a bunch of VCs on speed dial, he will make it up with blood, tears and sweat.
So what did he do that got me to be so sure? Well – he literally put his body on the line for our project. Unlike other companies that acquire fans with money (e.g. “like our Facebook page to win an iPad”), James promised he would eat a clove of raw garlic for 10 new Facebook “likes”. I thought he was just joking and won’t actually go through with it…until I saw this video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NHLLHPq8-Q
Anyway, I am sure James is not the only business guy that has gone the extra mile to back up their tech co-founder. Anyone else got a story to share?
