Who am I?  I'm Chip Griffin and I am a serial entrepreneur.  I've successfully started several companies, including CustomScoop and NetVocates.  It all started in 1998 when I formed Griffin Strategy Group, a public affairs consulting firm that specialized in helping organizations and candidates communicate online.  In all, I've been a founder of 5 companies in the past 8 years -- and I've got a few more in the pipeline itching to come out. 

I have a keen interest in seeing what's going on -- seeing great ideas, learning from innovators and entrepreneurs.  And I have a special affection for anyone doing that outside of Silicon Valley -- not that I have anything against my friends in California, but I think plenty of people are already covering that region.  There's less of a spotlight on the East Coast and I want to add my efforts to the mix. 

Hopefully this blog will serve as a resource for others who share these passions. 

After all, why should Silicon Valley have all the fun?
