Standability
Dave Berkus returns from European travels and brings along Transcepta's Ray Parsons. John Huston and I haven't gone anywhere.
Ray announced a new fundraising initiative right in the teeth of the economic meltdown; we get an update on his progress and how he communicates with his 45 angel investors.
Then we dive into Fool's Gold; Scott Shane was recently on the show and his interview generated lots of listener feedback. Listen to the Chairman of the Angel Capital Association describe his reaction. And what does John mean by Standability?
Show #200 (52:08)
Comments
My name is Gerard, and I'm the one who won Fool's Gold at the Entrepreneurship Conference. I've browsed it a bit, and hope to read it more thoroughly before year-end. Like yourself, my roots are in software, and right now I'm involved in virtualization and SAN infrastructure for an online bidding system at work, but I have some ideas in the online world I want to develop on the side as well. The Entrepreneurship Conference was very inspiring and motivating for me. I hope someday my ventures will bring enough success to be an angel as well. Keep in touch. Take care. Happy Thanksgiving!

Frank,
I listen to a lot of talk radio so it never dawned on me that on top of all the other work you do, you also have to edit these shows. Thank you for your many hours of work.
Your shows never fail to motivate. For someone who is tweaking their presentation, it was great to hear John Huston tell us to make our presentations relevant to the current economic climate by answering the questions " What problem do you solve and why solving that problem is even more critical in a prolonged recession?
