My cofounders were my best friends from uni. I met Scott during freshman year. At Oberlin, students have 5 weeks off in the middle of winter when we're expected to cook for ourselves. I probably would have eaten ramen all 35 days for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but we banded together and became expert hash brown cooks.
I met Nick and in sophomore year and we started a street art group. We did some pretty crazy stuff that made a lot of people smile. I actually met my girlfriend because of an art project we pulled off particularly well.
I introduced Nick and Scott during the end of junior year. Nick and I needed another house mate for our sweet off-campus diggs and so I suggested Scott. They got along well, so we dragged Scott with us. Nick and Scott actually were working on a recreational project for a while called Marblar, it was this horrible 3D game where you are a marble and you wander a crudely created world for several minutes before the psychics engine crashed.
When Nick came up with the idea for the company, he kind of roped me in, and it was pretty obvious Scott should join us.
I have a few close friends who attended Oberlin, and I was always impressed with the 5 week break in winter. IIRC, its not so much time off, but rather time you're expected to pursue something, anything. Is that correct?
I wish other colleges would follow their lead. It leads to some really amazing experiences.
