    I have to disagree with you in the basis of this post — that “hipster” and “nerd” are mutually exclusive. I also don’t have the same criterion for nerd as you do. 

    To me, calling someone a hipster implies that he is a person who understands trends and how they change in people. What is appealing, what is attractive… what is Cool. To say that these are characteristics to be shunned by a startup doesn’t make sense to me. You need excitement, buzz, hype. Sure, your average hipster might just be all style and no substance. This isn’t the case when the person embodies my main point — someone who is a hipster AND a nerd. 

    That said, a nerd can’t be ‘created’ by appreciating nerd culture. A nerd is someone whose ideal is genius, regardless of their tastes in media. This is the substance, the ability to recognize what is game-changing or what is technically possible. There is a certain foresight that comes with seeing the world the way as only a nerd does; it’s one big 3d puzzle to be reshaped by their goals and dreams.

    I’ve never shied away from nerdiness. Throughout my life when I was called a geek or a nerd, I would look at them and say “proudly.” But to me the most valuable person in a startup environment is one who is very multifaceted; someone who brings to the group brains, a sense of design, and on top of both of those an understanding of what is and isn’t a good business decision. 

    Now, moving past that, I really want to read The Blade Itself. I haven’t had a good badass fantasy fighter read since the overly-drawn-out Sword of Truth series.

    Old-school startups made chips, microcomputers, network gear, web browsers,
    all filled with nerdy goodness.

    Now, incubators yield companies that help consumers shop for discount crab cakes
    and the media covers them as tech startups.  They may be fine entrepreneurial
    businesses, but just doing something on the web or mobile is not nerd tech anymore.
    At the very least, there needs to be an interesting scaling problem.

    Aren’t hipsters just nerds that now have money?

  • panterosa,

    Grimlock, generate nerd thru apply nerd culture may work. But find inner nerd way nerdier and more successful. Like epiphany.
