Best of TWiST 2010

Posted on December 24, 2010 By Doriano No Comments on Best of TWiST 2010

I’m a huge fan of This Week In Startups AKA TWiST which is a fabulous show about Startups (DUH) hosted by legendary entrepreneur Jason Calacanis. Every week he interviews interesting founders and CEOs from well-known companies and popular startups. Each show is educational and most important of all entertaining. He also has a segment called Ask Jason where viewers can send in questions that he answers on the air. The other popular segment is Shark Tank where new startups can call in to the show and pitch what they do and the viewers and Jason and even his guests get to rate the pitch and the idea of the startup. It’s fun and a great way to learn about the art of pitching.

Anyway, here are my top 10 favorite TWiST episodes of 2010.

10. Howard Morgan, Co-Founder of First Round Capital and a 30 year veteran of the technology industry. (#44)

9. Alexis Maybank, Founder & President of Gilt Groupe (#58: Lovely & brilliant found of mega successful empire)

8. Sky Dayton, Founder of Earthlink, co-founder of eCompanies, Founder and Chairman of Boingo (#49: Great stories)

6. Jody Sherman, CEO of Ecomom (#80: Mastermind of word of mouth marketing)

5.Jessica Jackley, CEO of Profounder and Robert Wolfe, Founder of Crowdrise (#96: Great works by good people)
