San Antonio Startup Blog Continues to Evolve

As the San Antonio Catalyst for San Antonio Startup Blog, I get to be part of a global network of Startup blogs from the U.S. and other parts of the world. 

It's part of the SpringStage Network, that puts me into the epicenter of our local startup community.

I get a chance to help promote local startups that need coverage and an independent voice in hopes of new deal flow for them.

If you know of a startup that is located anywhere between San Antonio, Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley, please contact me at alan at weinkrantz dot com.

Advise from Jason Calacanis: “What to do if your startup is about to fail (or “Don’t Stop Believing”)

I’ve followed Jason Calacanis, CEO and President of Mahalo, for umpteen years and admire not only his approach to entrepreneurship, but the fact that he’s lasted through good times and bad.   I’m on his email newsletter list and admire his writings and sound advise.  He gave me an OK to re-publish a very good post on my San Antonio Startups Blog where you can read here in regards to scenario which is becoming more and more real every day.  

San Antonio Startup Blog is Up and Going

The San Antonio Startup Blog is up and going.

I’m serving as the local editor and am thrilled to be part of the SpringStage network of community catalysts who are in tune with their local entrepreneurship and startup scenes.

The network is just now launching in early 2009 as a blog network. This is the first step in ensuring that there is a visible resource in every community for early stage entrepreneurs.

Today, if you’re new to a city and you want to be involved in the startup scene there, there is no clear cut way to get involved. Springstage hopes to fix that by identifying and promoting credible catalysts in each community. David Cohen and Alexander Muse are providing the infrastructure for those catalysts to begin promoting their location entrepreneurship scene immediately.

I am looking for content, so pitch me:  alan at weinkrantz dot com. I'm just getting this off the ground, so please spread the word.
