Any thoughts on what we should do next?
We received tons of replies last time, so we're going to organize a little meetup when we arrive in San Fran! We also got confirmation on an exciting speaking engagement for when we're there, Leon will give a presentation about #startup, this SF Curated and the future of Startup Foundation at the Lean Startup Conference.
Do you have any suggestions for what we can do next to help founders across the globe?
We hope you appreciate this week's curated content, and that you may learn something from the experience of others.
Have a good one!
