2007-1 Spring Solicitation: Day 2
Today was the software day of presentations. Entrepreneurs and faculty from the computer science department presented their technology and business ideas all day. Again they presented to a panel of of angels, entrepreneurs and execs.
Today was not such a great day for me. I spent most of it running about and avoiding these execs and sticking with the ones that I had already made nice with. I didn't have my A game and could barely open my mouth let alone chat it up with another grizzled industry veteran. I know I've got to grasp these opportunities to speak to these high level people. Can't have these mental/physical slippages and let the intimidation and anxiety get the best of me.
I will be prepared for tomorrow. I WILL! Armed with these generic questions!!!
Where did you come from today?
What did you do to become successful?
What was your first job?
What new ventures are you working on now?
Why do you think your first venture failed?
What did you learn from it?
I will have something interesting to write about tomorrow. I WILL!!!
