Joshua Baer isn’t in Silicon Valley — he prefers Austin. He didn’t take outside funding — his customers funded him. He wasn’t an overnight success — it took him 10 years. But he made it. And even though he used the word “fortunate” a lot to describe how he built a $10+ million from nothing, you’ll be inspired by all the hard work he put into his vision.
You may have spotted this amazing beard hacking away at the top of the escalators at a table outside of Ballroom D (protip: lift the floor panels and power strips lie beneath) with myself and Harper Reed.

Startups. We know the mantra: Team matters. Is this philosophy exaggerated? Overrated? Cliché? No. Team is the only thing that matters. Whatever you’re working on now it’s irrelevant unless you continue rapid innovation. Why? Either you’re in an interesting market or your not.
