Red Beacon wins Tech Crunch 50

I met Ethan Anderson co-founder of Red Beacon in February 2009 during RSA in San Francisco through a good friend at AVG Ben Kaplan. Ethan's story was intriguing and exciting as he walked me through his start up story over a beer.

In June 2009 I ended up inviting Ethan to British Columbia Canada to talk to, engage and encourage founders of Canadian Tech Startups on what it is like to do "startup" in the heart of techland, the Bay Area during a function we hosted called metabridge, with over 10 other Sr Executives we flew up from fortune 500's from the Bay Area.

Well if you haven't heard yet Red Beacon - Ethan's company won Tech Crunch 50 (TC50) a couple weeks ago and I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Ethan and his team for the hard work and dedication they all put in. Its a ton of work but as you can see from the video links and articles below....its paying off.

Now get the heck out there and do something you founders and stop reading this blog post.
