THE DREAM IN ACTION

Over the last week I’ve been working on slides a pitch for a discussion I’m going to host at BarCampMilwaukee. The discussion is going to be focused on how VC and startups will react and be affected by the recent financial crisis. Obviously, with the credit markets in turmoil there will be an affect on anyone who needs money to do anything. Many startups will have to refocus in order to stay funded and stay alive…and that may be a good thing!

Also, I uploaded my pitch to a SlideShare.net, a site that I’m a huge fan of, to share the slides and embed them here on Ryan A Graves.com. Then Slideshare did a special on the financial crisis and chose my slides to be featured on the homepage today! In less than 12 hours on the Slideshare hompage 200+ people had viewed the slides and some given me great feedback.
