[armaneker]

Wow that's a great video!!! Mark, please do this more :)

5:36 "For years I've been keeping sort of a Google Document of ideas that I have. They keep coming to me." Exactly the same and mine is getting pretty long :)

[brutuscat]

@jonathanpaulmetillon same here.... So what? I have to quit everything and pick some idea? How to choose the right one? Where to find someone with similar/relative ideas to startup something?

[LTLHOMER]

@brutuscat Put yourself out there and things just fall into place. Try not to think too much it inhibits change.

We need more like this here in South Florida aka The Silicon Beaches. How about it? 954-778-5137. Get the business done-Have some Fun-in-the-Sun :-)

what is it with you americans, smart but so cocky.

[carolcps0302]

Great video. Learned a lot and hope to see more of these in the future.

[SuccessTelevision]

She is very clear. I look forward to seeing this product. Mark, having to shill for products takes the presentation down a bit. The TV industry may be "old" media, but you might want to follow their model and have a 3rd party do the advertising pitching.

[iamuzak]

Very good info even for an existing (successful) internet business. We can use this to improve and hone our model. Thanks!

I'm in Philly. I see some sparks and puffs of smoke that might someday develop into a fire of entrepreneurialism here. I'm just a noob; PhD physicist turned web-entrepreneur so what do I know? I love this city. We have some great minds and artists; a nice balance of the technical and arts. I'll probably get sucked into SF or NYC at some point, but I'd love to be part of a new movement here. Anyway, here's to next season, go Eagles!

[VikingDude81]

Mark, speaking of Vegas, you look like you just got back from there! Bring back Mr. Smooth... please!

[TeamFUtd]

Hugely useful! A great insight into what goes on inside those four walls....particularly as I hope to be in there sometime myself!

[IdeaVentura]

Had a really hard time understanding her when she said this; I believe Founder Labs is program where she said they met.

[jackiegross8]

This was helpful! Keep this going! I really enjoyed the Q & A, very dynamic. I was impressed by Sonia she was well spoken and confident. It was a good model for how pitches will play out for those of us who have never done this before. Wish I would of saw this prior to talking with my first potential investor.

[amoration]

Mark, can you do more of these? I love the transparent approach and rationale behind the questions.

[JohnGBeckett]

@Mark: Thanks, it was enlightening to see what a typical pitch would look like without having to be there. I'd like to see more in the future.

[theikmarket]

Venture Capital is back! YAY!

[jmgrant67]

Just a heads up. The MozyPro ad says 70,0000 businesses.

[EntrepreneurDigital]

Great idea. I think it has a lot of potential. The only problem I see is the difficulty to keep a unique position. it's easily to clone the tool.

[pacikist]

after 10/15min Marc lost his excitement...

[andrewaward1]

Mark, spot on comments on limitations of Startup Weekend. I've been to 2 and had great experiences at both, and they are great places to network, brainstorm and refine your skills, but I would NOT start a serious startup out of one of those weekends.

[DoolaK]

Sonia is hot!

But siriously - great company. Good luck
