In memory of John Delaney, 1969-2011
[cross-posted from my prediction market blog: Mercury's Blog] I’m very sorry to say that the world lost John Delaney on May 22, 2011. John was the CEO of prediction market Intrade, one of the most well-known real-money prediction markets. He was climbing Mount Everest and came within 50 meters of the summit when he encountered medical [...]

(With a short note to point out that both Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge, MA… named after THIS Cambridge!) It’s the [...]
OpenCoffee Cambridge & thoughts and ideas on the startup scene
First of all, thank you to everyone that came out to the first OpenCoffee Cambridge today! I wasn’t sure what to expect, and thought the worst case would mean about 3-4 people would just chat in the coffee shop. I didn’t try to make an accurate count, but I would guess about 30 people or [...]
