Dennis Crowley of Foursquare

The video below is Kevin Rose’s interview with Dennis Crowley of Foursquare.  I have really come to enjoy Kevin Rose’s interview style while watching / listening to the Foundations series.

My number one takeaway from this interview is the simplicity of thinking and concept behind each of Dennis’ ventures.  In each case he took a problem that he experienced in every day life and took a remarkably direct approach to solving it.  It’s also really interesting to listen to him tell the story of his evolution from Dodgeball to Foursquare, because they are really just better executions of solving the same problem.

I also found it interesting to learn how many of his ideas have been products of just living in New York.  It strengthens the premise that we are and even more will be products of where we live.  Enjoy the interview and let me know what sticks out for you.
