As a follow-up to my involvement in the FastTrac – TechVenture series co-hosted by St. Pete College & the STARTEC Accelerator, I am re-posting one of my all time favorites by Steve Johnson of Pragmatic Marketing “Stop Perfuming the Pig“.
Evolving a great idea into a product requires a mix of innovation, instinct and basic business discipline. Our mission is to help early stage founders understand startup challenges, build their confidence and establish their credibility. We sponsor workshops, coworking and other tech community events so that you never feel like you’re left swinging from a tree.We are not here to put lipstick on your pig or offer any silver bullets for venture funding; just grass roots experience blended with a little attitude and the occasional flinging of poo.
