You'll find its members kiteboarding, cycling, and training for the next triathlon. | | | | It's an open secret in the technology industry: If you want to score a deal, learn to kiteboard. Alex Mouldovan, a 42-year-old entrepreneur, took up the sport last summer. He was driving along Third Avenue in San Mateo, CA , one May afternoon, and the colorful fluttering of kites offshore lured him to the beach. Mouldovan was the founder of the social-marketing software company Crowd Factory, which he'd recently sold to a San Mateo-based firm, Marketo, for more than $13 million. When he wandered over the dunes that afternoon, he'd just rung the Nasdaq bell in New York City, via satellite, to mark Marketo's initial public offering. He was instantly inspired to buy some kiting gear and take lessons. Kiteboarding, with its athletic demands and inherent dangers, naturally captures the curiosity of risk takers and adrenaline junkies.
