Boulder Baked New Location Rocks!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Well, we’ve been in the new location for a couple of months now (1911 Broadway, between Pearl and Walnut) and things are going great! Many of our customers for the last 5 years have found us and lots of new folks as well. It was a pretty major undertaking for us to finish out the new space and get moved in.

I was just looking at the blog and realized it’s been about a year since I’ve added posts. What’s up with that? I’m going to try and be a bit more diligent, but I’ve never been much of a writer.

This business has been quite a ride! In many ways it’s like my other start-ups although all of them were in the Internet space in one way or another. This one has a much more tangible product. Labor, as in all of my other endeavors, is the primary challenge here as well. It’s tough to assemble a team of people who genuinely care about quality and customer service (As an aside, if anyone knows of anyone who wants to become part of Boulder Baked, just send them our way!).

If you’re in the Boulder area, come by and see us.

CSIA Demo Gala

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Just got back from the CSIA (Colorado Software & Internet Association) Demo Gala in downtown Denver. The keynotes were really entertaining and informative (Brad Feld, Governor Bill Ritter, eBags‘ Jon Nordmark, Google‘s Tim Armstrong). There were also some excellent sessions on funding and the like. MocaPay received the people’s choice award. Overall it was great to see a bunch of people whom I’ve worked with in the past and meet some new folks doing some very interesting things.

I also enjoyed seeing some company demos from Lijit, Me.dium, MocaPay, and even a jetpack from GoFast

I talked with a bunch of folks about Boulder Baked and ordering late night. We’ll see what happens!

Start-ups

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

The Boulder start-up community is becoming more interesting to me lately as I drift in and out of it both as a participant and a service organization. I hear you’re all up working all night — I know we are — and I just know you all need food, caffeine and sugar DELIVERED late, but we don’t hear from many of you. Is there a reason that you keep the same hours as the university students, who are our primary market? Do you have ideas about how we can better serve the people at start-ups and become known?
