GAIN Unplugged with In Vivo co-founder Dave Molyneaux

There are still 1-2 spots available for the GAIN Unplugged event with Dave Molyneaux. Have coffee with a small group of people at CYM coffee shop on Tuesday, May 14. In Vivo (now part of Philips) is the world's largest producer of MRI components and was founded right here in Gainesville. While the story has been under-reported for years, this was probably the first big success in the area in the biomedical field. Hear Dave's journey -- he's a great guy with plenty of stories. Open to GAIN…See More

CEO's that overpay for acquisitions

I'm reading the new book by Chip and Dan Heath ("Switch" and "Made to Stick") called "Decisive: How to Make Better Decision in Life and Work". So far another very good book from them. Here's a fun stat they shared: according to some study done, CEO's of large companies pay more for acquisitions based on how much attention they've received from the press. This presumably pumps up their ego, leading to a willingness to pay more. On average, CEO's of acquisitions paid a 4.8% premium for each…See More

Westlemania and great execution

Any Wrestlemania fans out there? (I know you're reluctant to admit in a public forum, so I'll wait for you to reopen this in an incognito browser window). If so you'll enjoy this video blog that talks about what young entrepreneurs can learn from Brett "the Hitman" Hart, one of the best Wrestlemania wrestlers ever.  See More

Great entrepreneurs you've never heard of #4: Wayne Huizinga

Posted on December 8, 2012 at 11:03pm 1 Comment

Continuing with the fourth on my series on great entrepreneurs you may have never heard of....

Since most GAINnet members live in Florida, many of us are at least vaguely aware of this blog’s entrepreneur: Wayne Huizenga. You may know that he owns the Miami Dolphins and may recall that he started AutoNation or another business. He is, however, probably the most successful serial entrepreneur of all time. He is the only person to start three Fortune 500 companies from scratch and six…

Entrepreneurs you've probably never heard of #3: George Eastman

Posted on November 22, 2012 at 6:23pm 0 Comments

Third in my series about entrepreneurs that aren't as celebrated as more recent success stories -- but who laid the groundwork for today's economy -- this profiles George Eastman.

The company he founded, Eastman Kodak, is still well known although the story of one of the earliest technology entrepreneurs is seldom told. Born in Waterville NY in 1854, George only attended school for a few years, before dropping out to help his widowed mother (his Dad died when he was just 7) by earning…

Randy,

That was a terrific presentation yesterday. Thank you for sharing your experience building up and selling NovaMin and other insights with the attendees of the Santa Fe Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED)/GAIN-net/GTEC/Cade Museum workshop .

Depending on the project scope, it may be. My background is in programming with VB.net, not C#, so depending on what you currently have, I may be able to help. Do you have any project outlines, functionality requirements, and integration points outlined yet? If so, shoot me an email (brandon@bschaefer.net) with it and I can take a look.
Thanks,
Brandon Schaefer
