Hey Vinny - Congrats and best of luck to you and the team. I must say I'm disappointed to see an immensely promising homegrown operation leave our shores. I completely understand the business sense behind it, but it is still unfortunate that we haven't yet created an environment here in SA where it would be beneficial to stay. Nonetheless, I wish you guys all the best.

Guess i'll have to start hanging out in Silicon Valley a bit over the next few months, buddy...
Bit further than driving to Sunset Beach...Oh Well, for Vinnyisms, it's worth it!!

Hey Vinny
Really glad to see Synthasite is getting there. I can't wait for the launch. I really hope it all goes well.
The advice you gave really hit home, especially points 2 and 5. I'll start working on them and hey, maybe I'll see you in the Valley in a year or two. ;)

Vin, as happy as I am that it is a great opportunity for you, I am going to miss you a lot! Perhaps you can leave Sharlene behind? Good luck but I am sure you dont need it. Find a place with an extra room, I am already coming to visit!

To this solid list of VC-related blogs I would add Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed, which I read religiously:
You know its funny... This is the second time in two days that successful entrepreneurs from elsewhere in the world have told me that they are relocating to California -- Clay Cook, the founder of ineedhits and now of minti.com -- is relocating all the way from Perth Australia for many of the same reasons.
Nice posting... I'm currently at the stage of figuring out how to get from concept to designed and developed website. Never done it before so barely know where to start. Cheers

Not sure yet. We're going live on 1 June, based on how much traction we get, it may be a permanent move!

I want to comment on this:
"Just do it! Stop planning and start prioritizing. It’s amazing what we can achieve when we focus and take action."
You are so right! I know a lot of people who spent damn amount of time developing their soft and eventually they were covered under tiny unsolved details.
I heard that you need to launch a start up when 80% of everything is done and fix the rest during beta testing.
