About

My name is Jerry Tian. I am the founder of TrAvid, an integrated web service for event organizers. I currently live in Vancouver, Canada. As a solo web entrepreneur, I spent more than one year bootstrapping my startup. This blog is about the lessons I learned along the way. You can follow me on twitter, and if you are in Vancouver, make sure to check out my meetup groups:
