What would Steve Jobs do as a college dropout? Pathfindr.co is a revolutionary platform for learning so you can start charting what you learn outside the formal university structure (conferences, books, blogs, online free videos) and get credit for it. Start a learning graph to understand what your knowledge base is composed of, discover new learning paths, and share your knowledge with others.

Since I probably won't have enough votes to be picked, I just want to use this space to thank Tony for his sincere sharing of experience in Startup Grind. It would definitely help my startup (HireBooth) a lot if I am able to get Tony's advice. I just want to congratulate whoever is the lucky one.
P.S. read about Pier 38 ... hope True Ventures and the other startups can find a resolution soon

I was just Honorably Discharged from the US Navy after serving 5 years. When in Afghanistan, I created StartupList from my tent, where I interviewed founders, and gave new startups a community to gain early adopters. Meeting Tony, I'd gain great insight into the next steps of building an online community for startups, points in entrepreneurship, and invaluable mentorship. Thank you for your vote!

Tony - Just a few days ago we came out of stealth and launched a social music app called LetsListen. BetaBeat and others have already started blogging about us. I’m a technical founder, the business is in an incredibly hot space, it has a realistic revenue model, it’s capital efficient, and I’m in SF. I’d love to meet and tell you more.

Frederic Navarro
we have nothing in common....I live in Aix-en-Provence (France), I am not a VC, I have never sold any company to AOL and I never lived in Jakarta....My project, Kodesk, is about making real live connections between people who would have never met otherwise thanks to an open office community. If you believe in serendipity and curious to meet a guy who would be ready to travel 8000 miles - vote 4 me

The standard keyboard needs a redo, CTRL+ALT+DEL in a big way! UnitedKeys has that way. Embed small displays atop the keys. Anyone know what F1 to F12 actually do? Not likely. With UnitedKeys technology it's easy, just look at the key icons and press with confidence. Icons and key functions can dynamically change based on the app you're running. Keys can be customized too! Let me show you!

let's get down to it. I want to drink whisky with the man and talk about social game monetization without boring him about such and such startup. Purely a social, informal, and relaxing conversation about games and capitalism.

I intend to commit a mistake that I can be proud of.
I hate those awkward moments when I run into my neighbors who I do not know and I wish I could communicate and share to build trust. I created an app Locally on the iPhone and have seen adoption and usage vary from country to country.
Tony, why?

First, here's the problem. Tony, me and Tony's colleagues would need to figure out the most desirable and convenient location for all of us to meet. It's the age old problem, where should we meet? Grouve It! is the solution. Grouve It! captures everyone's social graph and location, then "magically" provides recommendations for the most convenient and desirable location for the group to meet.$

we have built a gamification platform and are looking to raise seed funding. The platform allows companies to gather analytics about the person while they are playing the game. The platform will enable companies to use the gamers as passive marketers and drive traffic to the target website. We have a letter of intent with TigerDirect.com and are starting talks with several companies locally.

What do you get when sharing your data with foursquare and FB? That's right, Zilch! GlobalPoll is one of my baby's At this stage it's a poll site ( http://www.global-poll.com ). What should it be? A Crowdsourced community where the members are 'shareholders' of their own data. "The more you share and add the more you get". Third parties may buy data or admit their questionnaires!

In the space between GPS and NFC, there is a wireless void. It’s a place where GPS is not accurate enough and NFC is not strong enough to reach. Hugg Technology is poised to fill that void with a technology called NFN – Near Field Navigation. This technology will bring a new level of precision to check-ins, location services and real time tracking for less money and less battery drain.

We just launched our social search search engine at http://www.yapmap.com and I could use some frank advice from Tony as we start to raise our first round of institutional financing. We are pioneering a new type of search in which we focus on content that is social in nature, and we use signals from the conversational structure of the content to improve search relevance.
