It’s been a year since I boarded the plane from London to Denver to spend 3 months in Boulder for the Techstars 2018 program and it feels like the right time to structure and share the thoughts I have been working on for the last month.

​If you’re considering Techstars and you feel the equity deal might be a little raw or an MD hasn’t gotten you to drink the kool-aid yet, I implore you to read on.

At the end of 2018 I picked up This Is Day One by Drew Dudley. As soon as I finished the book I turned it over and started reading it again. Yes I, Matt Quinn read the same book twice in a row in 2018.

Inspired by Drew Dudley's This Is Day One, and with my commitment to being authentic - I am sharing my 25 pieces of edge of the bed advice.

​I have accumulated these across my 29 years of being through founding 2 companies, being a big corporate cog and (at one time) an engineer that built that bridge you cross to work everyday.
