I'm a startup guy & full stack hacker, turned CEO. Current focus is Buffer, a new way to share great content across social networks. I took the concept from idea to revenue in 7 weeks of evenings and weekends from my bedroom. Now we're a team of 18 and we have 1.2M users sharing over 2M social posts per week. I also love to advise others and share my experience where it can help. I blog at http://joel.is and regularly meet with startup founders to help with challenges. Key areas of interest: bootstrapping, validating an idea, lean startup, customer development, metrics, getting traction, press, co-founders, accelerators/incubators, raising investment, hiring, personal development, productivity, culture, transparency.

Co-founder and CEO @ Buffer makes it incredibly simple for individuals and businesses to publish content to social media networks. We're a team of 18 spread all across the world. Currently we have over 1.2M users sharing almost 400,000 social media updates per day. We raised $450k in December 2011, and since then we have grown to around 18,000 paying customers (~$3.5m annual revenue run rate) and are not actively looking to raise further funding. We're looking for people to join the adventure :-) See what we need help with at jobs.bufferapp.com From October 2010 to Present (5 years 3 months) San Francisco Bay AreaCo-founder @ I run all aspects of OnePage.
