The Friend Fund
As I gear up for my move to Boston, I’ve been thinking about how best to keep track of all of my friends and their startups. As a CRM freak, I made a spreadsheet and thought I’d share with you a sampling of the amazing companies my friends have started. If you haven’t heard of some of them, you should add them to your radar. Below I’ve broken it down by region. I’ve included 6 from Austin and SF and 2 from Seattle, NYC and Chicago.
