Thanks Furqan!

I wasn't trying to make anybody jealous...I was just trying to share the joy of reaching a goal that entrepreneurs and investors both share. On a day full of asks, it's nice to see the end result, no?

Dear CU

Andrew has been a substantial creative force in the Boulder and national entrepreneurial ecosphere. He's repeatedly demonstrated great creativity and leadership, and his ideas are not uncommonly mimicked by others. He would be a tremendous asset to the faculty's and student community's ongoing efforts to learn about (and disseminate) entrepreneurial expertise.
