Following the startup presentations, there were talks by entrepreneur Ash Maurya on “How to Identify a Lean Startup,” and venture capitalist Dave McClure on “Lean Investing” and they were well received. Congrats to all who launched and we look forward to heading down to Austin, Texas on October 7th to host a TECH cocktail startup mixer where me might get a chance to meet some of the founders of these fresh, young companies.
