I wear many hats as an advisor for several startups and non-profits.
The name "500 Hats" refers to the many hats entrepreneurs wear as they get a new startup off the ground. It's
also a reminder to work on identifying all those
hats, find talented people to wear them productively, and gradually
take each hat off & transfer them to other team members to help the
business grow.
and yes, there is a connection to the Dr. Seuss book "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins"... I've been a fan since about the age of 3.
lastly,
there's one more reference to my habit of wearing a variety of chapeau while
playing ultimate frisbee around the SF bay area, sometimes while
wearing a clown costume... but that's another story for another time.
