Here we go: it’s the last night of our whirlwind Virginia tour and this time we’re in Richmond, home of the Fan District, Altria (everyone’s favorite tobacco company), and our friends at Snagajob. It looks like this town is just started to unwind a little and consider entrepreneurship as a viable alternative to the corporate life so we’re pretty excited to be here.
We’ll be doing full posts on most of the folks we met on our journey and until then, enjoy these views of Snagajob’s handsome slide and orange/orange color scheme. If you’re in town, head down.
