Startups in 12 Quotes

Mar 03, 09 in Entrepreneurship, Startups

Yesterday I gave a talk to the Georgia Tech Young Entrepreneurs Society. The vast majority of the students that are part of the group are trying to get a startup off the ground or already working on a startup. I decided to base my talk mostly around the "Quote of the Week" feature of this blog. The presentation deck is comprised of 12 quotes, 10 of which previously appeared on FoG. Not sure if the deck will translate well without the commentary, but the quotes encapsulate a dozen things I would tell any startup.

Thanks to Ajai Karthikeyan, who founded the group and let me join folks like Stephem Fleming, Jeff Levy, and Sig Mosley that have been part of the speaker series they put on.

Update: I received this rather exciting news in my email box:

I have received great feedback regarding the session, including the line "I like Lance, he is the coolest speaker till now".

O and I did let slip that you hang out at Starbucks on Friday mornings, so you might get rushed this week. :D

After the talk I went ahead and printed out all those quotes -- it's tacked above my monitor now. Thanks for stopping by Lance!

Liked that there were a few quotes from ATL people in there.

And you even managed to weave your 24 obsession in...
