Silicon Valley 2011 Day One – Better Place, HackerDojo, Revolights & Jeff Clavier
From cold Helsinki, straight from Slush, Aaltoes stormed into SF and the Valley with a big crew – 42 of us here with BoostTurku and Hankenes. Jetlagged and bootstrapping at super8 (besides the Hankenes guys, who had some of us in their party mansion in SF Castro for a few nights), here we are, all hyped up.

Seeing Sites and Sightseeing
Saturday – last day in Cali. A day for visiting as many interesting places as possible, a day for reflection and a day for dreaming. We started the day off with a “pilgrimage” to Google and Facebook.

The conference being over, we rented a car and headed south towards Palo Alto and Stanford.

Preview of the new Facebook HQ
This section of the blog is for contributors’ experiences abroad – mostly from the perspective of entrepreneurship, although I’ll personally be including posts about subjects that I hope will be of general interest.
