Building, Branding & Managing a Carolina Community
.
Local Conversations had a chance to interview Gwen Bell from Tech Stars while on an East Coast network swing. Gwen who attended UNC has traveled from Carrboro/Chapel Hill, to Boulder Colorado, back to Carrboro and now back to Boulder Colorado to work for Tech Stars. Gwen who also represents Colorado startups and I had a few moments to chat about her role with both companies, her journey form Carolina to Boulder and places in between. We also talked about how important personal branding is online and what advice she would give to anyone who’s looking to launch a startup.
We covered other topics such as are we seeing a new feminist movement online with women being the new face of tech such as Amanda Congdon (I said Amanda Moody, sorry Amanda), Veronica Belmont and Tara Hunt. Clearly Gwen is the leading lady in the Boulder, Colorado but she’s not done with just Tech Stars. See what else she has planned at the end of the interview.

If you’re a NBA fan then by now I’m sure you have seen the “THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE” commercials. With the success of the commercials and the continue battle for the Democratic party vote, Time Magazine will be featuring the Obama vs Clinton on next months magazine cover.
Upcoming Time Magazine Cover: Obama vs Clinton via NBA.com
So I decided to put together a few “THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE” pictures featuring some of the movers and shakers on the internet.
