Last week I started my new job as a member of a “Innovation Lab.” The lab itself is part of a Venture Capitalist who hasn’t quite put out all the PR that it wants to on it.. so I’ll refrain from blatantly posting who it is (for now).

From what I can tell… I’ll be about 75% engineer and about 25% entrepreneur.

We’ll be focusing on the Consumer Internet space, and we already have a number of projects underway. For the time being I’ll be helping out on getting those projects from point “a” to point “A” (little “a” being early seed financing, big “A” being an actual series “A” round). Later, I hope to spearhead a few projects of my own when the time is right.

The projects, so far, range all over the map technically… which I like. Most of my work will be server side using Ruby on Rails. That is a large switch from my recent .NET/WPF/C++ client side work. But I’ve been a huge fan of Rails for a long time and I built a number of little rails apps inside of Yahoo while I was there. Now I get to learn from some Rails pros.

Once the PR flood gates are open… I’ll start posting links to projects that we deploy.

If anyone reading this has an idea or prototype that they would like to get in front of VCs, let me know ;) .
