In both cases our CTO and Community Director were looking to do something new after almost four years and there were people coming up behind them. They got multiple job offers from amazing companies and decided to work at one of my companies... which actually share space with Mahalo.

So, we get to keep them "in the building" and all that knowledge stays here and Mahalo gets it for free!

This is my model: hire great people, invest in them and if I can't keep them past 3-4 years at one company get them a slot at one of my other companies! :-)

Did your Mahalo investors get a share of thisweekin?

I read a little bit about how Odeo handled it with twitter handled it, just wondering how you did.

.... or help support/start a new company around them and raise an angel round with them (i.e. gdgt.com). :-)
