I met our guest Michael Mayer because of Twitter. I followed and enjoyed one of several pseudonymous accounts that he maintains to experiment with ideas. His various accounts have wide followings. I think many of the best accounts on Twitter are anonymous or pseudonymous, and I've always made a point to get to know the ones that I like best. As it turns out, Michael was also an entrepreneur. He'd been building a new company and was raising a small amount of outside capital. I didn't personally invest, in part because he raised it so quickly after I spoke with him. Ever since I've gotten to know him better and followed his company bottomless with interest.
