I’m Starting a Company
If you follow me on Twitter, then you’ve certainly already heard the news: I’m starting a company. Now, though I’ve told a few people online and off what it was about (shhh), I’m not going to spill all the beans right now (have to keep you wondering for a bit, right?).
What I’ll say for the moment is the following:
- I’m not “retiring” from any of what I’m doing now (I’m still for hire for my usual consulting/speaking/experiential-marketing/etc. stuff, though I might be a bit busier in the coming months, so plan ahead!)
- my company’s main business will not be consulting, and it will not be a web app (that narrows it down, doesn’t it?)
- strange as it may sound for me to say this, for the first time in my life I’m making a professional decision with the intent of earning money (though not at the expense of my products/services/users/clients/employees/partners, obviously)
- I’m still thinking about a name (”Pink” stuff is out, unfortunately — that should give you a serious hint)
- this will be a chance for me to put my network to good use (amongst other things, I intend to surround myself with great advisors/partners/collaborators).
I’m excited! Full of questions and ideas, but really excited

[...] As I mentioned when I announced I was getting into the event business, the whole idea is that organising events like Going Solo will be worth my time, financially. [...]
