A few weeks ago, Rahul Sonnad --a serial entrepreneur who is best known for founding and selling thePlatform to Comcast--alternately confused and dazzled attendees at Twiistup, the Los Angeles tech conference, with a fake-stilted-Indian-immigrant and ukulele-singing-and-dancing studded pitch for his firm, Geodelic (www.geodelic.com). We caught Rahul in a more serious conversation, and spoke to him about his venture funded, location-based information startup and what it's up to, as well as got the story behind the firm's incubation at Clearstone Ventures.
First, First, for folks who haven't heard of Geodelic, what do you do?

This was evident at the Twiistup pre-event company pitch last week at UCLA. Francisco Francisco Dao came up with the idea of letting 10 companies that weren’t selected for Twiistup to do a presentation the night before to a group of people and let the audience pick one company to win the final slot at Twiistup. I I’ll put up the video when they post it on their website.
Most people suck at presenting to big groups. It’s It’s a shame because the ability to nail these presentations at key conferences can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities

started the series talking about what I consider the most important attribute of an entrepreneur : Tenacity . I Funnily enough I was at the Twiistup conference yesterday and I was chatting with an engineer whom I really like and he told me that he enjoyed reading this series but that now he wasn’t sure he was ready to see me because he wasn’t sure that he scored highly enough on all attributes. So Think Yelp doesn’t wake up daily thinking This is part of my series on what makes an entrepreneur successful . I originally posted it on VentureHacks ,

Twiistup 6 took place last week and this time around, under new management, the event went through a few changes. This part of Twiistup was entirely new, previously the showoffs only had the ability to connect with the attendees at their booths. Each was really enjoying the layout of the event and the fact that we were set up near a power source, but unfortunately being in the back made it hard to hear the people on stage.
Instead of a one evening mixer that highlighted the showoffs and gave people a chance to mingle and get to know the companies, it was expanded to a two day conference with panels, and plenty of time for mingling.
