Selections for Start-Up All-Star Team

by Sam on February 19, 2008

In honor of the NBA All-Star game, I thought it might be fun to put together an All-Star StartUp Team roster for a hypothetical new internet/web 2.0 company.

Let’s assume there are six positions:

  • Marketing/Business Development
  • Information Architect
  • User Experience Expert
  • Chief Engineer
  • Designer (logo, color patterns, etc)
  • Systems/DBA Guru

Of course, an all-star team also needs a coach (in this case a lead investor)…

Send me your picks by email, or post them in the comments. I’ll compile the results with links to blogs or companies for the individuals nominated next week

    Rumors have nike air max 1 been circulating for a while now regarding a 2010 release of the nike air max 2010 Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” but we have not seen any sort of confirmation in the form of catalog images or words from Jordan Brand representatives. nike air max 95 But today, we are extremely proud to present a nike air max 90 SneakerFiles exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan nike air max nl X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs. Be sure to check out the additional photos and information after the jump!
