LaunchPad Coworking + Cafe - Official Blog

Our first investor!

May 6th, 2008 · Posted by Julie Gomoll

I’m happy to announce that we’ve officially signed our first cash investor — my dad, Augie Gomoll. Both my parents have been huge supporters of LaunchPad Coworking. My dad has eagerly examined all the drawings, all the plans, and every blog post. He even follows me on Twitter, and more recently, FriendFeed.

I was visiting family in Wisconsin this past weekend, and my dad and I signed the subscription documents. Before we did, he got dressed for the occasion in his stylin’ LaunchPad Coworking Tshirt, shown here.

Thanks, dad. I love you.

    I saw your tweet on Twitter. So cool. We are thinking of starting a coworking space in DC too.

    There’s a great book (can’t remember the author’s name) called “In Praise of Nepotism,” and I think she/he is on to something there. Family, friends, loved-ones, these are the forces that make the world go round-

    Congrats!!!
