Met with Kevin Ryan today at his office at Gilt Groupe. Kevin is one of the founders of DoubleClick and was one of the early investors in The Ladders... his latest brainchild is www.Gilt.com which he founded with two rockstar members of 85 Broads -- Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilson -- Kevin attributes his success to being lucky but believe me, his IQ totally trumps his rabbit's foot.

Kevin gave me one hour of his professional time for free -- figure one hour of his "mind time" - if put on the auction block -- is worth $50k minimum. He is THAT SMART.

Stay tuned to see what we do next. And in the meantime, watch CEO Susan Lyne's fab speech at our April NYC conference on www.85broads.com.

And yeah, Kevin Ryan TOTALLY ROCKS.
