One of the areas that I have participated in directly over the past thirty years or so has been in the area of startups and early-stage companies.
I have seen this area as vital to the growth and advancement of American industry, and I have also seen this area as a vital place for the energy and intelligence of younger people to bring their talents and persistence to the economy to keep things moving ahead.
Over the past two to three years, I have never seen so much activity in this space.
