The Startup Success Podcast
This week Bob and Pat talk with Michael Grosse, First Vice President – Wealth Management, of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney on the realities, perils and opportunities that come with startup funding. This is a whole new level of play for most developers, and Michael gets down to specifics of what happens after you get the money.
Bob talks about the advantages and reasons for doing a closed private beta, and Pat points out another nice Microsoft BizSpark benefit – BizSpark Incubation Week for Windows 7 @ Boston Oct. 5th.
