So here Steve and I are, sitting in a little office in Cornelius NC, new residents in a new country, trying to launch a start up.<\/p>\n

It’s not really that ad-hoc. It’s been about 18 months in the making and there’s some serious R&D under our belts. The product concept is really cool and we believe in it, otherwise we wouldn’t be here.<\/p>\n

But it’s fence. And fence is usually a snoozefest.<\/p>\n

We kind of like to defy the norm and convention. And\u00a0we want to spruce up fence. Our product is fun to install. We want our marketing to be fun. We want our blog to be anything but stuffy corporate.<\/p>\n

Having said that, what does an “anti-stuffy-corporate” blog look like?<\/p>\n

I really have no clue, but I’m going to try. Hopefully it will at least be a bit entertaining. And hey, it can’t help our search engine optimization efforts either, right?<\/p>\n

Suggestions are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
