Running Schedule for 2011

January 30, 2011 in Other Experiences with Comments Off

I ran my first marathon last summer just after joining the team at True last June.  I signed up in October as a long-term goal to encourage me to continue working out after moving to San Francisco.

Looking forward to 2011, I’m planning a combination of marathons and half-marathons – both to encourage myself to stay in shape and because marathons are generally fun.

My favorite part of race day is the commrodery and new friends, so taking a page from Brad Feld’s blog – feel free to reach out if you’re around for any of these races.

The following is my current plan:

Startup Waffles Tomorrow

October 28, 2010 in Other Experiences with Comments Off

Just a quick post to remind everyone about Startup Digest’s Startup Waffles at True Ventures office in San Francisco tomorrow from 8 AM to 10 AM.

Instead of writing a blog post, I spent the night mixing waffle batter and playing with my new favorite mobile application Instagram.  I know I’m late to the party but it is the best picture, location, and experience sharing application I have found and has drastically increased my social engagement on Foursquare, Tumblr, and Twitter immediately.

So for the blog tonight – a brief preview for tomorrow’s event in picture.

Enjoy!

Life in Beta: An Introduction

August 16, 2010 in Other Experiences with Comments Off

Greetings! My name is Adam D’Augelli and welcome to My Life in Beta.

To begin, first a little bit about me:

I’m an economics and marketing nerd turned entrepreneur with an affinity for disruptive technology and Chipotle Burritos.

I work for True Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fund with offices in Northern Virginia, San Francisco and Palo Alto. We partner with promising entrepreneurs at the earliest stages in the technology market providing hands-on management support to guide our portfolio companies through the challenges of early growth.
