Lots of folks have asked what Tony leaving ATDC means for me.  Not much really.  I suppose I get to do more interesting activities.  One of those is taking Tony’s place on the GRA/TAG Business Launch Competition Task Force. 

In this role Tino Mantellla has asked me to recruit a number of mentors to help the applicants.  Mentors are successful high tech entrepreneurs who are interested in giving back to the community by helping other entrepreneurs
be successful.  Mentors essentially help entrants refine their
business plans and presentations before the final application is submitted.  The specific role of the mentor is
determined between the mentor and entrant.   

So if you are a successful entrepreneur that knows what a business plan and presentation needs to convey, understands the Internet space, and has a little time to devote between mid February and mid April to help other entrepreneurs, I would love to hear from you.
