And if you want to work at a company with a real mission & vision, that comines making access to schools more equitable, helps schools to spend more money on education, and helps the largest US feet to become electrified - consider working at @ridezum ridezum.com/careers.html

.@ridezum addresses all these issues and we @angelpad could not be more proud of being a small part of it. If you have school age kids, please read this: ridezum.com/our-vision.html and maybe forward it to your school administrator.

In 2015 @ridezum launched @angelpad with a simple vision: Better transportation for Kids age 5-15. Back then it was a luxury service for private schools.

It's a unique time and we all have to make tough calls to help the greater good. To all the founders and "soon-to be" founders: Use this time to reflect and adjust, many of the strongest companies have been conceived or launched in difficult times.

@Bandrew Do not worry! At my interview, I sat down & waited for the officer to finish some paperwork; he looked up and said “is your client late?” - I responded “I am here for my interview” - he loughed “ahh, this will be short, you are the first person today who actually speaks English”

I have my US naturalization exam tomorrow 😬. Help me prepare for the test? Wrong answers only.

.@carinemagescas will speak @VivaTech in Paris May 16th.

Timing matters more than any other factor in the success of a startup. Here is the data from @Bill_Gross @TEDTalks #t-360832" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ted.com/talks/bill_gro…

What do you think matters most in the success of a startup?

My son (13) asked me what makes a good Founder. My response: Curiosity - /ˌkyo͝orēˈäsədē/ the strong desire to know or learn something. Ingenuity - /ˌinjəˈn(y)o͞oədē/ the quality of being clever, original & inventive. Tenacity - /təˈnasədē/ the quality of being very determined.

Congrats @coverhound @m00re on new funding. @AngelPad #2 (2012
