Interview with Kyle Ellicott, Founder of the Stained Glass Labs Incubator

Kyle is an acomplished entreprenuer and jokingly says all he had to do to start his incubator was: “sign a piece of paper, call a few people and boom it happened!”.
Everybody in the SF Area check out the GLAZED conference happening on SEPTEMBER 28-30, 2013.

Will wearable technology always need my smartphone?
Do you think we will get to the point of a Brain-Computer interface being mainstream?
Do you envision Bitcoin intersecting with wearable technology?

When you’re looking at startup teams, are you more concerned with the idea and story, or things they’ve already been able to execute?
Does outsourcing turn you off when looking at startups?
What is the most ridiculous “slide ware” you’ve ever seen?
If somebody wanted to pitch to you, what would be the best approach?
Did you go to college? if so did it prepare you for what you’re doing today?
Who is one person who really influenced, your “Hero”?
Ron Conway, Warren Buffett, Jim Cramer, Kyle’s Father and Grandfather
