My take on what I am learning by reading Jason Calacanis’ new book, “Angel: How To Invest In Technology Startups.” Each chapter I read, I have committed myself to write what I have learned from his book from the point of view of a Cofounder of a startup. Just in case there are those out there that can benefit.

Chapter 1 has me hooked! Jason says, “The snake is going to eat it’s tail”! If you are a software engineer, LISTEN UP! Or better yet, you better get your ass in gear and start reading the book! Lucky for me I am not a software engineer, but I am intrigued by the future telling that Jason has started in Chapter One. Calacanis states that he has invested in a company that will make me an App that does what I ask it to do. Sounds just like what I, as a Non-Technical Co-founder LOVES!! Sorry all you techies out there that may be offended by the shrinking market for your services.

What I love is the “Tough Love” Jason gives in his 1st chapter along side his very “humanistic” approach to the future. He references the Starbucks type of employees that makes our coffee everyday. My favorite line is “The sooner we eliminate the low paying, repetitive and menial jobs, the quicker our species can get to work on bigger issues.”

If you are part of the species…. stay tuned!
