Cujino&#039;s used to be excellent but when they moved it, they lost something.

I think you are likely to find that a 10% option pool should be plugged in at every chance.  This is fairly standard.

					<description><![CDATA[Awesome infographic! One thing I do question, though is I&#039;ve read that it&#039;s customary for employee option pool to get &quot;topped up&quot; to around 15-20% at each VC funding round (thus effectively creating two dilutive events after issuing shares to VCs...). Curious to know if BRC has any insight on the matter. Anyways, it&#039;s pretty informative and insightful so will be sharing this with my startup friends. Thanks BRC!]]></description>

I don&#039;t think there is a pastry that beats a Winonas cinnamon roll to be honest.  I also love Creekside for breakfast, if you haven&#039;t tried it next time you are there you have to check it out.  Also if you like 50&#039;s dinner food Johnny B. Goods has some good old style burgers.  The first time I ever had a fried egg on a burger was there, the Chuck and Fowl Burger.  A bit rich obviously, but so worth the calories.


Besides the great people I really love that you can get around with just the public transportation system there and your own two feet.  My brother was in high school and he visited me for a Summer.  He got everywhere he needed to go with just the bus and walking around.  I wish more cities made that a priority.]]></description>

Hey, Jeffrey, SBS is a great place.  It has an authentic reason for existing as opposed to some of the other Colorado mountain towns which are just faux towns.


How about a Winonas cinnamon roll?

I love Steamboat Springs, I used to live there for a couple years around 2000.  Some of the most beautiful Spring, Summers and Falls that can be had in my not so humble opinion.  I am an Oklahoma boy though, and not terribly acclimated to the long winters and tons of snow.  I never could get snow skiing, but the mountain biking, hiking and running there is AMAZING.  I used to water ski tons as a kid, and I couldn&#039;t get myself to snowplow so I couldn&#039;t control my speed well.

What I would really like would be Steamboat mixed with the climate of say Rio De Janeiro.  Love the Rockies, I can only imagine how awesome they would be with a beach and tropical climate.]]></description>

I&#039;ll trade you Steamboat Springs for Nantucket and throw in some bitcoin.  Haha.

Yes, I&#039;ll take bitcoin, that means I give up less equity. 

We have a house on here on Nantucket (since &#039;94). Like to come in June before the summer craziness and invasion.  &#039;Tall cotton&#039;...I hear that a lot when on my business travels in Maine.]]></description>

Yes, I am easy, very easy.


I may have to fax it to you.  Do you take bitcoin?


Hey, Nantucket, that is tall cotton.  I love Nantucket.
