About
My name is Dave Concannon and I’m an Irish software guy currently based in Berkeley, California. Why the ridiculous domain name? First thing to pop into my head that was catchier than my name.
I create beautiful applications for companies like www.complianceandrisks.com and www.yougetitback.com, mainly using Java (though I’m happy using Python, PHP and any other language that gets the job done).
This blog focuses on the stuff I’m really interested in: Entrepreneurship, Lean Startups, Customer Development, and The Business of Software. In case you were wondering, all links to Amazon are affiliate links.
For fun I train in Brazilian Jiujitsu, do a bit of work on the best webcomic on the internet, surf badly, and construct ambitious gastronomic delights. A fed Dave is a happy Dave. I also curate the Lean Startup Feed, a list of all the best writers and thinkers on the subject of Lean Startups and Customer Development. It’s recently been updated to include some great Venture Capital writers too.
You can contact me on twitter or linkedin, or mail me – dave [AT] apeofsteel.com. Drop me a line if you’re in the Berkeley area, we’re new here and happy to meet interesting and creative people!
