Give me an A, give me a N, give me a…ah forget it. Friends just say hello to startup junkie Andrew Hyde, the freshest Beta Dude. Why do we call him a startup junkie? Well, Andrew is the co-founder of Venture Capital Wear (a t-shirt company that started as a joke), founder of Startup Weekend (a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects all over the world), currently in charge of developing a community at TechStars, and a couple of other projects that are in ultra secret mode. Not enough startup stuff? Then check out his blog, where he shares his thoughts about startups, communities, and coffee. We are excited to have him check out our start-up in its early stage. Thanks and welcome to the party pal!

Disclaimer: I participated in Startup Weekend, have VC Wear t-shirts (around $400 worth), and love what TechStars is doing.
