Week 2: Exciting Things and Teamwork

Things that excite me:

1. When a story (it doesn't matter what kind or how it is published--original work, fanwork, comic, online, printed and bound) I follow updates.
2. Meeting people that are passionate about what they do, and getting to know them beyond the superficial hello-I'm-Lisa-an-econ-major-what-about-you? and the rather eye-raising one-upping strangers have a propensity for.
3. Food: the creation of and ingestion of. Finding new recipes that work is always a joy, and I hope to rapidly expand my repertoire in the near and far future.

You might wonder how all of this fits into the semester-long project, or into startup culture in general. My interests do not perfectly map over to this class, but they are important. While I would not want to, for instance, propose a food delivery startup (of which there are many), I would be quite interested in any company involved with the presentation or distribution of stories, artwork--something of the sort.

This is not to say that I would not be open to a project focusing on some other subject. I would be, depending on the individuals involved. I currently work at a startup, and it is particularly evident to me that teamwork is critical to the success of the organization. What is important to me is that the people I work with are passionate and believe in what they are doing. Some words of advice (common sense, some might scoff), but there is nothing worse than trying to sell something you do not believe in.
