    • “ Jim Donnelly had some really interesting insights into the high tech community as an observer of what has happened over the last decade. The scarcity of Venture Capital now has made it necessary for companies to learn how to be innovative in getting started with boot strap strategies. It is also important to actually sell their products to customers to finance the business rather than spend years living on Venture Capital only to find they can't sell the product. Excellent turnout and met a lot of new people! ”
