“I’ve had the debate with a number
of people who want us to believe there is a dearth of capital in
the Southeast, but from my perspective, it's just not true. I've
never seen a good idea fail to get funding. The issue isn’t
finding capital; it’s finding a good company to put the capital
in.”
Darrell Glasco, Venture Capital Relationship Manager/Southeast
SVB Silicon Valley Bank
“. . . you have to ask yourself if you
are ready to be an entrepreneur. Are you ready to devote the
time it's going to take to do it? This means making your company
the center point of your life for several years.”
Jim Stratigos
CEO, Jacket Micro Devices (JMD)
“When we close a deal I give the CEO a T-shirt that says
“Happiness is a Positive Cash Flow.” Any entrepreneur must keep
in mind that a business cannot run without cash coming in the
door in excess of what you’re spending.”
