Aaron Stanton has a good idea. He has been working on it for several years, sort of fantasizing that it could be great enough to capture Google’s interest. One of the problems he had making his company grow was that every time he almost got around to pitching it to Google, he would chicken out.
Just before Christmas last year, Aaron’s father had a near death experience and Aaron had an epiphany. Learning that life is short, he decided to get Google’s attention come hell or high water.
On February 5, he bought a ticket to San Jose and posted the first of a series of videos designed to go viral. Once he had spent money on air fare and had an actual set date, he figured there would be no going back. He details his experience at CanGoogleHearMe.com/.
Aaron has a lot of tenacity. In 2003, he started Novel Projects Inc. while a sophomore student at the University of Idaho. He paid a roommate $10/hr to write code for the product while making only $7/hr himself. By his own admission, Aaron is not a business person.
