Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Dennis Crowley
by Scott Edward Walker on March 22nd, 2011“We have these things in our head, and we just want to get them built.” –Dennis Crowley
To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we post a short video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.
This week, we again present Dennis Crowley, Co-founder and CEO of foursquare and a super smart and successful entrepreneur. In this interesting, four-minute interview with Chris Dixon (courtesy of TechCrunch TV), Dennis discusses (i) launching a startup in New York City, (ii) fundraising and (iii) growing from 2 to 50 people (i.e., “building the machine that builds the products”). I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks, Scott
