Waking up today to one of the best top-10 lists I've seen lately and wanted to share it with you. Dating is hard enough, but in the current Web 2.0 world where almost everyone is trying to invent the next big thing, finding time for love, romance, or just a little offline fun is becoming a challenge equal or greater to founding a company.
"Top 10 Reasons to Date an Entrepreneur" written by rising star Charlie O'Donnell, CEO/founder of Path 101. (If you visit or move to New York, a community-maker, Charlie is one of the tech scene's must-meet people, read his bio here).
Onto Charlie's list . . . drum-roll . . .
#10) Your parents will just love us... They're accredited investors, right?
#9) Your place is closer to my office and has more bandwidth. Do you mind if I just leave this server here? Really? Is it loud? I never really noticed.
#8) We're not afraid of commitment. In fact, let's move in together... you know, economies of scale and all.
#7) We're good at teamwork. We have to be...not all of us can code.
#6) You get to be a beta tester of the next Google or Facebook.
#5) Some of us have millions of dollars in the bank. Of course, it belongs to our investors, but still...it's in the bank.
#4) You can tell all your friends that you're dating a CEO who runs their own company. You can leave out the fact that the CEO is also the secretary, the janitor, middle management, and a web design intern.
#3) We'll pay for all our dates the old fashioned way. (Old fashioned=Circa 1999...with worthless stock options)
#2) We will never come home and complain about our boss.
#1) Our hours are really flexible. We can meet up anytime between 11PM and 8AM. Sleep can always be rescheduled.
Single women and entrepreneurs do you agree/disagree, what else would you add to the list?
