I recently accepted a role at lob.com. They are a San Frnacisco headquarted startup that is building APIs to better connect the online world with the offline world.
Joining a startup involves some amount of risk. I've never shied away from that and it seems that age has done nothing to change my risk tolerance. This has resulted in a mix bag resume. 2 IPOs in that resume but also a couple of really short stays. (can we say 6 month stint at InsideSales.com). I recently had the chance to speak with a recruiter that was worried about those short stints. It wasn't the first, nor do I think it will be the last, time that I've had to explain those "blips" in my resume. I simply don't know how to be a part of a Tivoli or Macheen without having a VFA or InsideSales.com in your journey. I feel that I've learned as much if not more from the "failures" than from the success. I'm looking forward to putting all that experience to work at Lob.com.
This one is a little different. We are having to stretch outside our Texas confort zone to make this happen. We are heading out to the Bay Area for a 6 month temporary posting at HQ of my latest adventure. I'm am so blessed to have the support of my family and friends as I take the plunge into the maelstorm of a hyper growth startup.
I look forward to sharing our California adveture with everyone!
California here we come!
