Smart Factory

Jeff Lin and Mike Bollinger of Bust Out Solutions and Livefront respectively have teamed up to launch a new tech education venture called Smart Factory. At launch, Smart Factory is offering classes in iOS development, Ruby on Rails, mobile UI design, and web production. The prices are quite reasonable, too.

I’ve done work for both Jeff and Mike and their shops are among the best in the business. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with several of the instructors. If you’re in the Twin Cities and you are looking to upgrade your skills, check it out.

YC Will Now Fund Nonprofits Too

After Y Combinator funded Watsi, I wondered if they would make nonprofits part of the program. Now this is confirmed. I’m excited to see what comes out of it.
