Jake Robinson replied to Nate Baker's discussion Let's plan a robbery (aka stepfounder.org)"Nate,
sorry you were ill'in... i did pitch (sorta) your idea... they were closing pitches and i forced a 'last one' but it was a spin off - i explained 'step founder' and merged it with online community where folks could…"
Nate Baker replied to Nate Baker's discussion Let's plan a robbery (aka stepfounder.org)"I've got pneumonia so I won't make it tonight, likely all weekend.
But in the spirit of the concept of stepfounder, someone feel free to be stepfounder to the pitch and run with it. I can jump in later where I can.
I'm so sad to…"

Nathan Ketsdever replied to Nate Baker's discussion Let's plan a robbery (aka stepfounder.org)"This may sound odd--and rather simple--but given there are so many crowd sourcing websites. I believe there are 200+ (which I'm sure is just scratching the surface). It would be interesting to aggregate all the cool ideas in one spot so you…"
Justin Davis replied to Nate Baker's discussion Let's plan a robbery (aka stepfounder.org)"Definitely a cool idea, I love it. A couple questions:
1. How does it make money? Charge to let the founder post? Charge to let the potential step-founder reply? Some value-add services (background screening for potential step-founders, etc.)?
2.…"

I'm the owner of a tech community venue in Lexington, KY called Awesome Inc. We've hosted SW a few months ago here and now we're having a Mobile miniConference on July 18th. There will be speakers from the original facebook mobile, Yahoo!, and speakers on Google Android, Palm Pre, the iPhone. We'll even have a workshop that will walk you through how to build your first iPhone app.
Just wanted to let you know since you're obviously into the tech startup scene in some way, and you're not that far away from Lex (and this is the only mobile conference (that I've heard of) in the midwest).
Have a good day, and I hope to see you up here if you can make it!
-Luke
