In episode 18, we visit with Eric Martin of 80amps. This is a very overdue episode, as we recorded this way back in the Spring. That speaks more to how busy I've been more than the quality of the episode. This was a great conversation, that I really enjoyed at the time and I had a great time revisiting it this week.
During this conversation, Eric and I focus mostly on the origin of 80amps and its relationship to the Martin Agency. 80amps is using its experience with startup projects to create 80amps for Enterprise, where they are consulting with larger corporations to coach them through disrupting their own industries (or even how to guard against themselves being disrupted). Their value proposition is that they can be a catalyst for thinking about problems differently.
We talk about 80amps' current portfolio of companies and their different levels of maturity. We also talk about how 80amps does not fit in to the definition of an incubator or accelerator, and how it is more modeled after Idea Labs (http://www.idealab.com/).
I had a great time talking to Eric, and really enjoyed hanging out at the 80amps new office in the Manchester District.
