entrepreneurial camaraderie

jeff has just launched his next start up - shutterbudd.com. he also just moved into his free office space in emeryville. yup - free! basically he used to go to cal with the founder the founder of gx media who was also the CTO of gamers.com. Gamers.com was purchased and just spun off another company called lithium which has been funded an A round. anyways, since lithium has a large office space now which has not yet been filled, they offered up some space for jeff's company since shutterbudd only has 3 people. and what did gamer.com guy say to jeff after he gave him some office space? oh, if he needs any servers, he has some old servers for him to use. and why did he help jeff out with such generosity? because "we've all been there."

way cool. this is why i like hanging out with entrepreneurs.

This is like "paying it forward." Someone probably helped out the donor during the rough times, and the donor is now helping Jeff out, and when Jeff makes it, he can throw some kindness into some other kid who reminds him of himself.
