I'm Mike Borras. Dreamer, schemer, vegan. Co-founder of local search community Tupalo.com & sometimes angel investor. In my past life, I made video games at Rockstar Games, founded the first independent music auction startup, produced music at the indietronica label Skylab Operations & founded one of the earliest MP3 netlabels at Observatory. This is a personal Tumblr, my opinions are my own, find more of them on Twitter & Quora. Or, just listen to the soundtrack of my life.
Lucky Ant
Lucky Ant is a crowdfunding solution for local retailers that allows them to fund projects with help from customers.
The service gives small business owners a way to raise money in the form of small donations to fund improvement projects (say a restaurant that wants to build an outside deck), while at the same time forging deeper connections with customers and encouraging loyalty. Community members, meanwhile, have a tangible way to support businesses they like while getting the opportunities to receive special rewards, VIP treatmeant and other perks. The service is currently only operating in New York, featuring one project per week, but has plans to expand soon.
NYC-friends. Go see my spirit-sister Mary performing with some other people you may have heard of on Dec 17th! I will miss it by 3 days :(
