BranchOut CEO Rick Marini’s Death-Defying Ride About 10 years ago I had the rare opportunity to ride on the back of a super bike at 150 mph, popping wheelies down the straightway beyond Turn 7 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Professional rider Steve Rapp was at the helm at the time. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life that I will never do again, (unless it’s on camera, of course). Not to say it wasn’t fun. But one death-defying ride in a lifetime was enough for me. So when I was offered the chance again, I thought who else could take my spot? An entrepreneur would be perfect, as they are constantly traveling at the speed of light. While I ... Continue reading →

How many entrepreneurs do you know who would launch their company in Maui? You wouldn’t think this would be the ideal spot with the lack of tech press on the tiny island in the Pacific. But She-Rae Chen, CEO of a collaborative photo sharing site called Afolio, decided to officially launch her company at an annual kiteboarding event. It’s not just any kiteboarding event, though. it’s a select group of entrepreneurs, executives and investors mainly from Silicon Valley. Charles River Ventures Partner Bill Tai is the ring leader of the bunch, assisted this year by Jason Fass who used to be a product manager at Apple as well at Jawbone. Tai started the group six years ago as simply a gathering of friends. It quickly ... Continue reading →

One year ago July while I was in New Castle, Pennyslvania, for a family reunion, my mom collapsed from blood clots in her lungs. But what they actually said to us was that she had one blood clot in each lung. That sounded strange to me: How do you have one blood clot in each lung? I combed the Web looking for answers. I tried to search for the best doctors in the New Castle/Pittsburg area, but it was nearly impossible to figure out who was the best pulmonary specialist and even more, the best pulmonary specialist covered through my mom’s insurance. When I did try and get in touch with other doctors, my phone calls were not returned, or I couldn’t get an appointment ... Continue reading →
