Going to San Francisco

After OSCON, I’ll head down to San Francisco for a week or two with the hope to secure legal representation for our startup, JadeTower. Indie-Arcade will soon be far enough along for us to start demoing it to investors and we want to have all the paperwork and mechanisms in place to ensure that process is as smooth as possible. While we’re on track for a invite-only alpha release at the end of the year, the path to beta and beyond will likely require more resources than just William and I (despite our superhuman powers). We’re not yet ready for VCs, but we are ready to move from self-funding to angel-funding.

Though I have a few appointments lined up (some thanks to our friends at Socialutions - another Hong Kong web startup), I’d be more than happy to meet with anyone else that you could recommend. Even if it’s just to chat about startups or open source or Hong Kong. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment or send me an email. Oh, and if you know of anything interesting going on in San Francisco or Silicon Valley at the end of the month, I’d love to hear about that too.

What is Indie-Arcade?

Simply put, we’re going to help you create classic video games (you know, NES-era, those games that were actually fun to play) and share them on the web. You can mod, mix and mash games parts and you don’t need to be an expert programmer (or even much of a programmer at all). Everything’s in-browser and cross-platform.
