Gainesville Tech Start-Up, Ocoos.com

Recently went down to Ocala to visit with Rahul Razdan about progress with his newest tech start-up company, Ocoos.com. (Rahul was CEO of WiPower, a former GTEC startup, when it was acquired. Before relocating to Ocala, Ocoos participated in Santa Fe’s CIED and was located in the Florida Innovation Hub at UF.) After my discussion with Rahul and a visit with Daniel and Ryan, I decided to experiment using Ocoos to offer some stock legal agreement forms to small tech companies. I was pleased with…See More

Where should tech startups go online to get the advice and knowledge they need?

Yesterday, I moderated a panel discussion, The Good, Bad and Ugly of Business Plans, for GAIN's inaugural Shootout event. The panelists, David Day, Fred Hutchinson, Kevin Oligby and David Pierson, in their answers to my questions, kept circling back to two common recommendations. First, tech entrepreneurs need to be realistic. Second, they need to show they’vedone their homework and are knowledgeable about how the real world of venturecapital and tech startups works. So how do tech…See More

Hi Stephanie, Steve, Ann and Booker………

I was wondering whether any of us Marketing Committee members has or is contemplating getting together as Dan suggested prior to the Board Meeting on Monday? I am not having a great deal of success getting my “Investor” colleagues to pay attention and/or follow through on my email invitations to join GAIN-net and Investors Group. I was thinking about an old fashioned snail mail personal letter campaign? Are there any updates re: anything else we’ve talked about doing as it applies to what Dan calls the annual plan and budget? If y’all intend to try getting together, I would try to come up (although my schedule’s pretty tight between now and the weekend).
