David Cohen
"The best meeting of this group so far IMHO. It was great to hear candid, from-the-hip remarks from experienced investors. I also appreciated the balance of points of view from a 100% bootstrapper to an angel to a VC." -
Josh Watts
"Great panel that shared a lot of good information from both an investor's and entrepreneur's point of view. Much much better than an event the MIT Enterprise Forum had last year covering the same topic. " -
Matt Holliday

Mike Schinkel

Richard Fret
"Excellent topic, well covered, great to have the different perspectives. I'm not looking for funding and found the topic quite interesting and helpful. Very smart panel, possibly too dominated by Stephen, but he certainly was very helpful. Would love to see the opening presentation posted on this site. outstanding." -
Brad Anderson
"I picked the right one to go to, as funding interested me the most (out of the ones that are upcoming). I'll miss the Buzz one, which is also of high interest, but SEO and Email mktg are down on the list."
Josh Sweeney
"A little lite on question time but still good. "
