- CalmQuiet 18y agoMight also be a good place for VCs to scavenge for unlikely startups, a place where Bob Ellingson said of two barefoot garage Steves, "I don’t want to give these (young, scruffy-looking) guys any money."
- iigs 18y agoIn Houston there is a place called Electronic Parts Outlet (EPO) that does something similar. It's an awesome place to stroll around and poke if you have some time to kill. The closest thing I can find in Seattle is Vetco on the east side. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be very interested.
