Editor?s note:? Derek?Andersen?is the founder of?Startup Grind, a 40-city community bringing the global startup world together while educating, inspiring, and connecting entrepreneurs. I remember when the press first hit about Nest Labs, the guys behind the iPod/iPhone were taking on thermostats everywhere! A collective "huh?" went through the tech industry.?It felt like the tech version of the Avengers got together to build an office park, not save the world. After sitting down with Nest co-founder Matt Rogers at Google For Entrepreneurs' office a few weeks ago, I learned the backstory and vision of a company on a mission to build one of the world's only great hardware/software companies in the world.
