Sometimes you come to the end of a week and wonder, how the heck did I cram it all in?? This week has been a big one for us. A quick recap.
Monday - Launched our first Foodzie “alpha” store - Seth Ellis Chocolatier. Matt Mullenweg, Founder of Wordpress happened to be visiting TechStars and was our first customer. Thanks Matt! Of course…the Foodzie blog is powered by Wordpress.

There are more pictures of our first sale on his blog. If you haven’t bought any, shame on you!
But honestly, they are definitely worth a try. We are huge fans of their organic truffles.
Tuesday - More real customers. Hooray! Thanks to everyone that bought some chocolates from Seth Ellis and gave us great feedback about your experience.
Meetings with great mentors:
- Don Springer, Collective Intellect
- Jeff and Judy Herman, Fuser
- Dave Taylor, AskDaveTaylor.com
Session on Angel Funding with Howard Diamond, Tom Higley and David Hose.
Wednesday - We got started on the right foot with breakfast at The Kitchen with the Ice Box Bakery ladies (which had me craving their cookies for 3 days until I willingly gave in last night).
-Session/Field Trip to Photobucket on scaling your business
-Dinner at Frasca with Jason Mendelson (knew it would be good, but it totally exceeded all our expectations!)
Thursday - We took the advice from our first customers (yes we listen when you share!) and begin iterating on the product. These changes have been made and now our checkout process makes a little more sense.
-Chatted with Brad Feld via video chat (he’s working remotely from Homer, AK) and recruited him to be our artisan food scout in Alaska - more on his findings later!
-Session/Field Trip to Zoll Data on Bootstrapping with David Brown - very refreshing persective.
Friday - It started with a great meeting with the man behind the magic at Frasca - owner, Bobby Stuckey. He is the definition of a true foodie and is a brilliant man when it comes to food. We learned a ton.
-Met with Room 214 about some very cool potential partnerships with Foodzie
-Enjoyed a little Happy Hour of mojitos and guacamole, while meeting with one of the most passionate pork person we know, Chris Wand - who also happens to be an incredible lead mentor for us.
The weeks don’t technically “end” as an entrepreneur, in fact we are headed to the Boulder Farmers Market now to do our weekly shopping and do a video shoot with Current TV. Ahhh…the life of an entrepreneur.
