I'm Founder and CEO of Blue Fish Development Group, a software development and consulting firm I founded 12 years ago. We provide enterprise content management solutions to Fortune 500 companies. Blue Fish was the 10th fastest growing company in Austin, TX in 2008 and was selected as one of the best places to work in 2007.

Recently, I've been mentoring startups as part of the Capital Factory program, a super-early-stage investment group patterned in part after Y Combinator.

comment Difference between a “new business” and a “startup” market research
Maybe we are splitting semantic hairs here, but facebook was a new product/service in a different market. Facebook initially targeted college students at elite U.S. universities. If memory serves, MySpace was targeting teenagers and was heavily music/band focused. While they were both what we now call social networking, it was doing something different from MySpace. While it is certainly the case that some startups are copying others, my feeling is that most are attacking a new problem, in a new way, or for a new market.
