Those who have met Jonathan know that he has a heart of gold. This is a guy who just wants to help those that deserve it. I'll be supporting the Co-op as much as I can and watching closely as this first set of startups grow up.

Keep up the good work!

And see you all at the next H&F meetup...

H&F is the only meetup I've found that's worth going to -- from when it was 20 people at St. John's Bar and Grill up to it's current several thousand form where we need to take over Pedro's Cantina. And like Jonathan said, he wasn't doing it for any selfish reason (unless you count hanging out with geeks). Silicon Valley could stand to use a few more like him...

Awe, shucks. Yer makin' me blush.

I really just got sick and tired of watching what I thought were amazing startups struggle and die.

Proud to see H&F building so much traction and keeping things innovative. - Asher Bond

Just left this comment on the post itself, but extremely proud fo you Jonathan and Laura!

So excited to see this take shape guys. Kudos to all the great work to our friends and colleagues out West. You guys will always have a network to come into here in NYC!

This is something that people like me really need. A genuine help is always welcomed!!
