I know Andy, Don and Joe. They are great guys. Joe and I did (and probably will again do) a talk on bootstrapping at the unConference.

Andrew Payne http://www.payne.org/index.php/Main_Page or Don Dodge eCoast Angels or Joe Caruso from Bantam group would be a good start.

I’m looking forward to the panel. As a former entrepreneur I’ve been kicked out of most east and west coast VCs offices at some point or another :) I think it’ll be fun if we the panelist as well as the audience get specific and real about the various strategies and pros and cons of getting great ideas commercialized and turned into great businesses.

See you this week.
