Dec 18, 2008
2008 is coming to an end, looking back I felt I learned a lot but it was not a year of giant progress (which will change for 2009). Things I did accomplish were, in no particular order:
- Attended TechCrunch50, this was a great experience and I met some awesome people. One of which I’m working on Heddge with.
- Launched FileLock , my first product launch. This really taught me a lot and was a great relief to have it finally launch. I never realized how many sales go through a site like macupdate.com.
- Finalist for the TechStars program where we ended up being a substitute if one of the other teams didn’t follow through. Although this was somewhat of a loss it really showed me what investors want in a startup.
- Entered the Stic.ca business competition, this something I really wanted to do in 07 and so I’m very glad I did it this year.
- Met Frank Addante at TechCrunch50, even if it was on the way to the bathroom :)
2008 seemed to be a year of meeting a lot of great and helpful people. In 2009 I plan to continue meeting amazing people but there is also some other big things in the work. Here are some of my goals:
- Get a summer internship with either a tech company (startup or Apple ;) ) or a finance company, preferably fund management
- Launch Heddge.com and another web based project that is in the works (its a financial tool that acts as SaaS).
- Build both of those properties to a be profitable.
- Get my number of twitter followers to over 1,000
- Graduate from the University of Calgary with my degree in Economics.
- Launch FileLock 1.1
- +Whatever I think of between now and new years.
Now that I’ve shown you my goals, go out and set yours. Lets make 2009 a great year!
