In Chapter 11 of 19 in his 2014 Capture Your Flag interview, standup comedian and Vooza founder Matt Ruby answers "What Have You Found to Be the Keys to Creating More Successful Project Collaborations?" To start, Ruby finds it essential to be working with a funny idea and script. If this core is not in place, then no amount of funding or talent will make the comedy program funny. Once the core is in place, Ruby finds building more successful collaborations is about giving creative team members ownership to feel part of creating a good work product. Matt Ruby is a standup comedian based in New York City. He also founded Vooza, on online comic strip web series that makes fun of tech startup culture. As an actor, director, writer and producer, Ruby leads the creative direction for the team. Before his comedy career, Matt was employee #1 at 37Signals. He graduated from Northwestern University.
