An excerpt from TechCocktail’s Independence Day interview: The Meaning of Independence
WHAT IS MOST LIBERATING ABOUT BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR?
Gryphn.co CEO and Co-founder Navroop Mitter
“As is the case with our liberty as a nation, the liberty an entrepreneur experiences comes at a cost. Entrepreneurs lack a boss that they defer to day to day, but they gain a board whose power over them is even greater. Entrepreneurs gain the freedom to deliver on the completeness of their vision, free from the confines of business maxims and corporate structures, but they lose the comfort of a paycheck that comes even when things don’t go right while corrections are being made. Real liberty always has, and always will come at a price.”
You missed out if you didn’t party with us on St. Patrick’s Day!
The holiday came around just in time for the beta launch of ArmorText. We partnered with James Hoban’s Irish Restaurant & Bar in DC and Lynzi Elizabeth from local TV station DC50TV, a part of the CW brand, to host a St. Paddy’s Day block party. About 600 people showed up and got to check out what ArmorText was all about and give us their thoughts on how they would use the app on a daily basis.

To make sure we didn’t get pinched on St. Patrick’s Day the Gryphn team wore green in full force. Navroop decided to wear a bright green turban instead of his favorite pink one. Bobby showed up to the event wearing a green jacket. Aaron, Gryphn’s power lifter, was wearing his favorite green sweater. This fashionable display was a fitting follow-up to the previous day’s Gryphn team photo shoot with celebrity photographer Douglas Sonders. Surprisingly, our green ensembles weren’t even the night’s biggest clothing hit. The new Gryphn t-shirts were wildly popular among bar patrons, with the Gryphn team collecting a waiting list for the next batch.
Keep checking back. We will be adding new videos every few days.
