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.

Inhabitants embrace the man and the legend Micah Baldwin as our newest Beta Dude. Micah (pronounced meeha) is currently the VP of Business Development at Lijit and author of the Learn To Duck the learn to duck blog. If you are craving a blog with substance, then you gotta check out his blog where you will uncover some serious advice about the hard knocks of life and the start up life. Quoting Micah, “To get, one must give, and trust that the gift is compelling enough to have the other give in return.” We here at Fling it Girl are quickly learning how vital it is to grasp and apply this principle. We can’t wait for his feedback.

Disclaimer: We use Lijit, like Lijit, and recommend Lijit.

I’ll take it! Meet Eric Wu as the latest Beta Dude to join our boy band Fling it Girl. Eric is the Director of Product Management at Fuser, but we prefer his other title Gooey Gang member.
