Financing the Future: J.P. Morgan Takes Off
| |
| Following the American Civil War, Morgan decided to get involved in the railroad business. Taking what he had learned both from his father and his own investment banking experience, Morgan began to purchase railroad companies that he noticed were struggling to stay afloat. He used his shrewd investment skills to take control of the notable Albany, Susquehanna, Philadelphia, New England and other railroad lines. Morgan then began to promote them to European investors, famously managing to sell 87% of New York Central Railroad stock without driving down the price. |

My Response:
I actually just returned from a speaking engagement at the APICS Houston 6 Packed conference.

The Art of the Introduction
| |
| Just got back from Houston where I spoke for the Houston Technology Council. Houston has, by far, the funniest Web 2.0 babes in the world: Jenny Lawson of Good Mom/Bad Mom and The Bloggess; Laura Mayes of Digg for Chicks, aka Sk*rt; Erica O'Grady of Reinventing Erica; Tracey Lee Wallace of True Light Resources; and Carrie Pacini of OpMom. This is what Jenny was going to use to introduce me until she chickened out. |

| New York, October 12, 2009 – Just 17 venture capital funds raised $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2009, according to Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). This level represents the smallest number of venture funds raising money in a single quarter since the third quarter of 1994 when 17 funds were also raised and the lowest level of dollars committed since the first quarter of 2003 when $938 million was raised. |

Excessive Cost Cutting and Your Business Model
| |
| When I travel for speaking engagements, my accommodations are often booked for me. I checked in early to my Holiday Inn Express room in Houston yesterday. As I looked around my room, signs of bean-counter hell abounded. As I scratched my itchy skin, I noticed that only shampoo and conditioner were in the bathroom. When I went to iron my clothes, I noticed something odd about the ironing board. It only was as high as my mid thigh. I am 5 foot 11, so this miniature ironing board was easier to use on my knees rather than bending over.
