Adventures in e-commerce

Monday, June 1, 2009 by Mike Nolan

I've been frantically helping a group of really talented people start-up an e-commerce site for the entertainment industry. We are pre-launch, so mum's the word - but it has been exciting. I've been to Hollywood every other week since January.

Meanwhile, I've been helping a buddy who is launching an organic artisan cheese company.

Alemar Cheese is the brainchild and labor of love of one of my best friends - Keith Adams. I've tasted the first batch, and it is great. Think soft Camembert style cheese with the earthy flavor that is distinctive, big and bold.

The cheese guys in the Twin Cities loved it - and Keith will be debuting next week at specialty shops and Farmer's Markets in Mineapolis and St. Paul.

Things at Yovia go great - we've closed our Angel round, and have fine tuned our business model. I'm completely out of the day-to-day stuff - but remain an investor and advisor.
