I really didn't want to have to do this, but then you all started participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and well, it's hard to stop watching the videos. Over and over and over again.
But we're seeing some ice water-dumping creativity coming from Triangle startups, and why not laugh at all our friends getting soaked. So here's a roundup of #IceBucketChallenge videos out of our community.
If you're a startup or founder (ahem, Chris Heivly of the Startup Factory (Done! See second video. Can't miss the Batman boxers), Scot Wingo of ChannelAdvisor, Jason Caplain of Bull City Venture Partners (Done! See third video) and all the American Underground companies challenged by Michael Goodmon) and you choose to participate, send us your video and we'll throw it up.
Enjoy!
