I knew Jonathan from junior high.

I must admit that his (initial) success with Friendster encouraged me to pursue a startup.

So I ended up leaving academia to pursue a startup full-time.

Other famous people I knew from junior high: Randy Linden and Mark Vange.

Anyone recognize them?

As you might guess, I'm a bit jealous!

Where did you go to Junior High?

Zion Heights JHS

I also went to the same SS as these people:

I love how you can't actually tell what Socializr does until you go through their very long and painful signup process.
