info_outlineJon Thornton teamed up with someone he hardly knew during the summer after undergrad to work on a parking-based business idea together. The idea was to work on the business idea till the end of summer and see what happens. Seven years later, after several twists and turns, Jon and his partner Aashish Dalal are still in business together. They recently raised their first round of venture capital and are ready to take on the world.

A smart way to find a co-founder, especially a technical one
How to get LOTS of publicity from mainstream media without really sweating it
Why having lots of competition is NOT a bad thing
