Around the Internets so far in 2010
What up everyone … just wanted to share a few links to some things I’ve been up to lately.
We just announced a huge partnership with Society6. Right now we are working with artists to build up content for the new Threadless Artist Shoppe that will be dropping early next week. So stoked for this and the new opportunities it brings artists on Threadless. Watch out, this will be huge.
Earlier this week I did a live interview on Inc.com. It was a pretty cool format, I just sat in my office and broadcasted live from my webcam while a moderator from Inc fed me questions that came in live from the community. You can watch highlights of it here.
I’ll be hosting a panel with 5 Threadless artists from around the world in Denver during the HOW Conference on June 9th. This is going to be incredible, so stoked to meet and hang out with all of these guys and to share their thoughts with the HOW attendees. It’s looking like I will be doing this again at Adobe MAX in October in LA.
If you read Women’s Wear Daily, I was interviewed for a piece in there last month. I found a link to a PDF of the article… check it out.
But wait there’s more!
- Tom does an interview with the Killswitch Collective on our 10 year anniversary.
- A blog on Trada recently written about Threadless that I really enjoyed.
- I have a little quote here in this BlackBook Magazine article.
- Bnet talks with me about vision as an entrepreneur.
- A super fun interview on the amazing Hide Your Arms t-shirt blog.
- An article on TechCrunch about bootstrapping your business.
- I am mentoring at the Founder Institute in Denver to a great crew of startups.
- A couple weeks ago I participated in the DC10 Summit Series. Amazing group of people.
Thanks y’all!
Thanks for the kind words about the Trada blog post. It is honestly my favorite blog post I’ve written to date. I’ve worked at places where the CEO doesn’t get it and it makes marketing incredibly hard.
Also, not to say thanks and then ask for another favor…but…my co-worker doing a video about crowdsourcing companies in Boulder. If you would have any interest in being included, would you mind shooting me an e-mail?
I enjoy seeing where Threadless is making the news. One of the first articles I read about your company was in an airline magazine while flying to Michigan for a business trip. At the time I was in the ski industy in Resort real estate planning and development.
Your INC.com interview was a great format – I enjoyed watching that as well.
I know you are probably about to get really busy with your book (saw the sample spreads – very cool!), but would love to see if you would contribute to a book project I am working on. The concept is here http://www.microarts.com/ubiquity. Each contributor provides a 350 word response to a single question. Threadless would be an ideal brand to include. The print concept is a bit similar to your book; individual print spreads for each contributor.
Not sure the best way to connect with you to share more about it.
Good luck with the ongoing media coverage!
I’d be happy to contribute to Ubiquity, thanks!
