aedifico··on Traditional watchmakers turn to smartwatches as Montblanc unveils the e-Strap
This just makes my brain hurt. The actual cost of the technology involved is significantly less than the selling price.

While brand and marketing adds some value, I fail to see how it adds a 700%+ uptick in price.

I've heard really good things about both actually!

Was it http://www.denverstartupweek.org/ ? I couldn't find any in October, but this looks like the one I missed.

Thanks a ton, I'm reading it now and so far find it very insightful!

I'm not opposed to moving, but aside from just jumping in do you have any recommendations on where to start?

Obviously cost of living, things to do in the city, etc. But should I also try to ascertain hard numbers on the "growth" of the tech sector in that area?

I'll definitely be tuning into your podcast.

I'd love to do that, but my company is pretty hardcore set in it's ways. :(

Many of the really neat ideas I've had and pitched just don't go anywhere because either A) It's new and shiny, which corporate doesn't like (My company is in the Fortune 500 but we are painfully slow to market). or B) I'm expected to do things as they have always been done because "That's the way we do it."

Truthfully, I've been near oblivious to Austin or Dallas as potential solutions. Thank you for enlightening me!

You described my pain exactly. Upon further examination, it really does look like a market size issue. :-/ (Tulsa, ok )

I'm in Tulsa, Ok, but you do raise some really good points.

I'll hunt around to see if I can start/find some Hackathons!
