26 Nov – 27 Nov 2009

SOLD to the men in the football team!

Wasn’t Sunday morning fun, eh?
The entire of the 24hour-startup team, plus a good 50 or so auction followers were glued to the eBay auction, and over-using the “Refresh” button as the auction counted down. Personally, I was on a 3-way iPhone con call with Dave and Nick (that’s just how I roll!!)
The excitement was incredible, [...]
