I know Fernando, and I'm hopeful that this will be a very cool project that could further spur entrepreneurship in the US. The key will be to demonstrate not just the successes, but the toil too! I hope it's not just a glamorized view of Silicon Valley. There is so much selection bias via TechCrunch and whatnot that I think so many people think it's all "champaign wishes and caviar dreams." This could be a real opportunity for people to see what really goes into building a startup, not the Social Network. Knowing Fernando, he'll do a great job. Good luck!

Definitely - in fact I'm doing these daily founder vignettes on the fundraising page itself - and the one I focused on today was a founder who kept grinding away for 8 months just to find a co-founder. I'd be remiss if I didn't tell both sides of the story - but that's the challenge and also why I want to do it!
